Visualizing Cultures

Subject:

Institution Name:

Collection:
MIT Visualizing Cultures
Grade Level:
Secondary
Abstract:

Visualizing Cultures opens a window on modern times by wedding popular images and scholarly commentary in ways that were not technologically possible until recently. Focusing to date on Japan and Asia in the modern world, these units enable users to “see” historical moments as they were actually depicted for mass audiences at the time from various national, cultural, racial, ideological, and individual perspectives. The graphics themselves also reflect the evolving nature of different mediums of visual communication. Before our present-day digital revolution, most of these evocative images were exceedingly difficult for students and scholars to access in any systematic or comprehensive way. In a word, the on-going Visualizing Cultures project exploits virtual technology to open new avenues of public education and global historical and cultural understanding.
