the skills and questions involved in reading history through images now
accessible in digital formats. The course is based on the MIT "Visualizing Cultures" website
devoted to image-driven research on Japan and China since the 19th century (visualizingcultures.mit.edu). The introductory module
considers methodologies historians use to “visualize” the past, followed by
three modules that explore the themes of Westernization, in Commodore Perry’s
1853-54 expedition to Japan; social protest, in Tokyo’s 1905 Hibiya Riot; and
modernity, as seen in the archives of the major Japanese cosmetics company,
Shiseido."
