La Dualità Delle Yokohama Shashin Le Fotografie Souvenir Come Mezzo Di Diffusione Di Stereotipi Culturali
Corso di Laurea magistrale in Lingue e Civiltà dell’Asia e dell’Africa Mediterranea (LICAAM) Tesi di Laurea La dualità delle Yokohama shashin Le fotografie souvenir come mezzo di diffusione di stereotipi culturali Relatrice Ch.ma Prof.ssa Silvia Vesco Correlatore Ch. Prof. Toshio Miyake Laureanda Helena Durante Matricola 832691 Anno Accademico 2018 / 2019 要旨 横浜写真というのは、手で彩色されたアルブミンプリントのことであり、浮世絵 の美しさと似ている。19世紀半ばに生まれ、横浜写真の作品は風景と日本の 伝統的な文化のものが多い。ところが、大きな変化があった時期で、横浜写真の 被写体は実際にあったものと少し違っていた。 1868年に明治維新が起き、明治政府と明治天皇は近代化行動を進め、様々な 変化があった。したがって、日本社会は非常に変わり、江戸時代の伝統的な形式は 徐々に消え、新しい科学技術、輸送機関、服装とファッションなどが生まれた。 それに、欧米化運動もあったので、社会のイメージは非常に外国からの影響が あり、モダンな洋風建築や店の英語看板が多くあった。ところが、このモダンな 風景が横浜写真では見られない。その結果、その時代の多くの写真は写真館で製作 され、江戸時代の風俗を似せるために役者や舞台美術が使われた。 横浜写真は、外国人や外国旅行者に向け土産として生まれ、輸出品として ヨーロッパやアメリにと輸出された。その写真はエキゾチックな日本のイメージを 与えたので、とても気があり、商業的にも成功だった。この撮影は過去の記憶 として評判があったけれども、当時の社会の真正な記録として好まれた。それ から、横浜写真は西洋の社会で当時日本の実際のイメージとして海外で普及して いたので、誤解や先入観を与えてしまったかもしれない。このことについての資料 は少ない。研究者が横浜写真と浮世絵の関係を詳しく調べたものはあるが、横浜 写真が西洋社会に与えた影響についてはまだあまり調べられていない。 この卒業論文では、まず横浜写真について説明し、撮影の含み結果を調べ、その 写真と海外社会の文化映像想像の関係を検討する。本稿は四つの章から成り立って いる。 第一章には、まず日本歴史的背景を解説し、それから写真技術の導入や日本での 独自の進化について説明する。最初の写真機材は1848年に出島でのオランダ船 との貿易で日本に入ってきた。だが、当時の写真技術は難しい点が多く、初めて 日本人が撮影したのは1857年だった。日本で写真技術は外国写真家によって 普及され、1860年ぐらいまでは日本に関して写真は外国人が撮影していた。 それから、写真技術の発達により、アマチュア日本写真家が次第に増え、外国写真 1 家のように撮影をするようになった。写真の技術は幕末時代、そして明治維新に 進歩した。近代化と共に日本のイメージは変化し、欧米化運動につれて社会は洋風 なものを取り込んだ。1872年に撮影された明治天皇の最初の写真は、写真技術 と近代化の象徴だった。 第二章は、横浜写真に関して説明し、この写真の歴史や特徴や経済発展も 述べる。この写真は、幕末時代から1900年ぐらいにかけて撮られ、まずは横浜 開港に限られたが、やがて他の港や首都圏でも多くの写真が撮られた。横浜写真の -

Japan on Display: Photography and the Emperor P
Japan on Display Sixty years on from the end of the Pacifi c War, Japan on Display examines representations of the Meiji Emperor, Mutsuhito (1852–1912), and his grandson the Shôwa Emperor, Hirohito, who was regarded as a symbol of the nation, in both war and peacetime. Much of this representation was aided by the phenomenon of photography. The introduction and development of photography in the nineteenth century coincided with the need to make Hirohito’s grandfather, the young Meiji Emperor, more visible. It was important to show the world that Japan was a civilised nation, worthy of international respect. Photobooks and albums became a popular format for presenting seemingly objective images of the monarch, reminding the Japanese of their proximity to the emperor, and the imperial family. In the twentieth century, these ‘national albums’ provided a visual record of wars fought in the name of the emperor, while also documenting the reconstruction of Tokyo, scientifi c expeditions, and imperial tours. Collectively, they create a visual narrative of the nation, one in which Emperor Hirohito (1901–89) and science and technology were prominent. Drawing on archival documents, photographs, and sources in both Japanese and English, this book throws new light on the history of twentieth-century Japan and the central role of Hirohito. With Japan’s defeat in the Pacifi c War, the emperor was transformed from wartime leader to peace-loving scientist. Japan on Display seeks to understand this reinvention of a more ‘human’ emperor and the role that photography played in the process.

Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age
Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age Nicole Williams Honorary Guest Scholar and Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow (2019–2020) in the Department of Art History & Archaeology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age explores the importance of international travel and exchange to American art of the late nineteenth century, a period of transition for the United States marked by the rise of global trade, international tourism, massive waves of immigration, and forces of orientalism and imperialism. Through a selection of paintings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts from the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, as well as other collections at Washington University in St. Louis, this Teaching Gallery exhibition reveals how Americans increasingly defined their nation by looking to the foreign cultures and landscapes of Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Caribbean basin. They imbued their art with a modern, multicultural spirit that also announced the country’s emerging status as a global power. In the decades following the Civil War, many Americans eagerly turned away from recent violence at home toward new vistas of adventure and opportunity abroad. A boom in international travel was facilitated by improvements to communication and transportation networks, such as the laying of the first transatlantic cable, the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the opening of the Suez Canal, and the introduction of regular steamship service between San Francisco and Yokohama, Japan. Young American artists flocked to study in Europe’s great art centers, often staying overseas for many years and establishing vibrant expatriate communities. -

Felice Beato's Japan
X Portraits From the Dawn of a New Era X X X X X X X X X X X The above details all derive from the portrait album introduced in this unit. X Titled “Photographic Views of Japan with Historical and Descriptive Notes,” the photographs were taken by Felice Beato, the pioneer foreign X photographer in Yokohama, Japan’s major treaty port. The album was published shortly after 1868, the year the centuries-old feudal regime headed X by a hereditary Shogun was overthrown and a new, “modern” government under the Meiji emperor established. Through Beato’s lens, we gain an X unusually intimate view of a range of Japanese individuals on the cusp of a new era in their history. X 1 Felice A. Beato, photographer Felice A. Beato (ca. 1833–ca. 1909), a naturalized British citizen and extraordinary photographer, first arrived in Japan in 1863. Beato found the treaty port of Yokohama ideal for establishing a commercial photography studio. Once settled in Yokohama, Beato only made one trip abroad—to Korea to cover a British-U.S. military expedition in the mid 1870s. Established as a treaty port in 1859, Yokohama grew rapidly and bustled with the activity of foreign businessmen, merchants, seaman, and tourists, as well as a rapidly expanding population of Japanese attracted by its commercial opportunities. Beato's life and work are of considerable interest to scholars, curators, and collectors. His album Photographic Views Portrait of Felice A. Beato, 1860s of Japan with Historical and Descriptive by an unknown photographer (detail). Notes, published around 1869, [bjs100] introduces a dialogue between the photograph and the descriptive essay. -

This report contains a wealth of information on Institutional trends in the acquisition, loan, and management of the National Collections. First published in 1987, the statistics have become an important indicator of both progress and problems in collections management, informing resource allocators and the Institution’s personnel of events occurring in a given year, and trends reflected over time. This year’s Collection Statistics marks a departure from previous years. More important, it marks the beginning of changes that will occur as the National Collections Program (NCP) of Smithsonian Institution Archives reviews the needs and wishes of its multiple audiences. In the coming year, NCP will seek to identify new and expanded methods to communicate findings on the growth, care, and use of the National Collections. This year’s change moves the publication toward increased uniformity and comparability of data. -

Prior to Western influence, pre- modern Japanese society viewed imperial portraits as religious objects for private, commemorative use; only imperial family members and close supporters viewed these portraits. The Confucian notion of filial piety and the Buddhist tradition of tsuizen influenced the production of these commemorative or mortuary portraits. By the Meiji period, however, Western portrait practice had affected how Japan perceived its imperial portraiture. Because the Meiji government socially and politically constructed the ideal role of Emperor Meiji and used the portrait as a means of propaganda to elevate the emperor to the status of a divinity, it instituted controlled public viewing of the images of Japanese emperors. -
