The Formation of Visual News Media in Modem Japan

在这一研究项目中，我们将重点关注ISICS中的小野Hideo收藏，社会信息和通信研究所，包括Kawaraban的597种类型和Shinbun-Nishikie的275种类型。这些视觉媒体在19年晚期D1世纪日本流行文化中非常重要。因此，在这个研究项目中，我们分析了所有这些Kawaraban和Shinbun-Nishikie的各种跨学科方面，包括历史、艺术历史、质量交流研究、社会学和文化研究。通过这些分析，我们清楚地了解了“新闻”的流行概念，其中的一些与今天的概念和理想化了这些视觉媒体中的文本和图像之间的关系有很大的不同。此外，我们收集了这个Kawaraban和Shinbun-Nishikie的M4视觉数据库，并以CD-ROM的形式出版。这个视觉数据库有所有这些Kawaraban和Shinbun-Nishike的翻译文本数据，对于媒体历史的研究者来说，应该非常有用。

In this research project, we focus on the Collection of Ono Hideo in ISICS, Institute of Socio Information and Communication Studies, that includes 597 types of Kawaraban and 275 types of Shinbun-Nishikie. These visual media are very important in the popular culture of the late 19ィイD1thィエD1 century Japan. So in this research project, we analyze all these Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishikie from various inter-diciplinary aspects including history, art history, mass communication studies, sociology and cultural studies. Trough those analysis, we made clear about the popular concept of 'News' which is very different from the today's concept and elucidated the relationship between text and image in these visual media. Also, we m4de visual data base of this Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishikie Collection and published in the form of CD-ROM. This visual data base has all the translated text data of these Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishike which must be very useful for the researchers of media history.
