| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigated the process of circulation and evaluation of the FSA photography which originally aimed to relieve rural farmers during the Great Depression. It revealed that through New Deal programs, photojournalism and art museums in 1930 's the FSA photography was getting to be accepted as a humanistic photographic art and then the images of national memory; poor but tough. Moreover, the FSA photography was utilized for cultural diplomacy in foreign countries. On the other hand, we should notice that these processes included some ethical tensions between the photography subjects and the viewers then and now.
