Our interdisciplinary collaboration with one another in Spring 2020 was born out of a shared interest in learning about how minority groups within Asia were represented in visual culture. Prof. Spiker<\/a> had research experience in dealing with representations of Ainu visual culture in the 19th and 20th centuries in Japan, while Julianne Stewart ’20<\/a> and Adele S. Gordon ’20<\/a> had an interest in learning about Taiwan and China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One recurring question for us was this: “what is the difference between representations of<\/span> a group by the dominant culture and being represented by<\/span> one’s own community<\/strong>.” This vacillation between representations “of” and “by” became a touchstone for us as we navigated the complex visual economy of minority visual representation in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our collaboration included (1) developing a shared reading list<\/a> on this subject, (2) meeting weekly to discuss said readings, and (3) each student developing an independent digital humanities project using StoryMapJS<\/a> by the knight lab<\/a> at Northwestern University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
