| Project Summary | “Behind the Camera: Gender, Power, and Politics in the History of Japanese Photography” is a digital humanities teaching resource made up of modules that each include 1) a 20-minute lecture covering a focused topic in 19th-21st century Japanese photography from a gender studies perspective, 2) a digitized archive of related photographs, 3) an annotated bibliography (all in English and Japanese), 4) translated essays and articles related to the lectures, and 5) an interactive timeline of women in Japanese photography. Each module will be easily applicable to a range of UBC courses covering Japanese history, art history, culture, and gender studies. The website will also include innovative and interactive data visualizations and timelines related to modern Japanese history, the most extensive collection of bibliographical data on women photographers in Japan, and global events in the history of photography. |
