- Visualizing_Cultures_(website) abstract "Visualizing Cultures is a website at MIT intended to wed "images and scholarly commentary in innovative ways to illuminate social and cultural history.". the site was founded in 2002 by Professors John W. Dower of the History Faculty and Shigeru Miyagawa of Foreign Languages and Literatures, and is affiliated with the MIT open courseware project, an MIT project initiated in 2001 intended to make materials from MIT courses available freely online. The site draws on the digitized visual record to develop historical units covering events in China, Japan, and the Philippines in the modern world. Scholars from multiple universities have collaborated with Visualizing Cultures to produce some 40 units: essays, visual narratives, and image galleries.A “gateway to seeing history through images that once had wide circulation among peoples of different times and places" Visualizing Cultures investigates history as “how people saw themselves, how they saw others including foreigners and enemies, and how in turn others saw them.” Nine of the units have curriculum designed for secondary school teaching. Outreach of the project includes workshops for teachers and a traveling exhibition that toured the United States, including an exhibit as part of the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Pacific Overtures” on Broadway, and Japan. Visualizing Cultures has collaborated with more than 200 museums, libraries, and archives to make the digital visual record in the form of popular, political, and commercial historical images, freely accessible under the Creative Commons license.The project was recognized by MIT with the “Class of 1960 Innovation in Education Award" in 2004 and in 2005, the National Endowment for the Humanities selected VC for inclusion on “EDSITEment” as an online resource for education in the humanities. The curriculum on the website for the Canton Trade unit won the 2011 "Franklin R. Buchanan prize from the Association of Asian Studies for best curricular materials concerning Asia." The first Visualizing Cultures unit, “Black Ships &Samurai,” written by John Dower, juxtaposed the visual record from the two sides of the 1853-1854 encounter when Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States arrived in Japan aboard the “black ships” (steam powered gunboats) to force that long-secluded country to open its borders to the outside world.".
