研究実績の概要

PHASE ONE was completed after concluding rephotographic fieldwork conducted in May (Tono, Hanamaki, Kitakami, Mizusawa, Esashiku-ide, Oharamura, Orikabe, Ichinoseki), in December (Tono, Hanamaki, Kitakami) and March (Mizusawa, Ichinoseki). Draft photobooks (i.e. visual fieldbooks) were made for every location (total of 36 books). Each book contains visual documentation of landscape change to be used in workshops in PHASE TWO. A public exhibition of fieldwork was held at University of Tsukuba in June. Analysis of fieldwork was also presented at two conferences (one domestic in July 2023, one international in April 2024). The project blog was redesigned for sharing fieldwork. Informal photomedia classes with university affiliated high schools provided some workshop preparation.

現在までの達成度 (区分)

3: やや遅れている

理由

PHASE ONE was completed later than planned. This was necessary because three sets of rephotographs from each location would share more landscape change with workshop participants in PHASE TWO. Planning for PHASE TWO was delayed until September. A schedule conflict prevented a first workshop from happening in Tono in March. Progress of PHASE TWO is expected to improve in Spring 2024.

今後の研究の推進方策

PHASE TWO is now expected to comprise at least six photomedia literacy workshops before Summer 2025. These workshops are expected to coincide with exhibitions of the PI’s fieldwork in six locations (to be determined). A class of graduate students at University of Tsukuba have been recruited to support the workshops and exhibitions from Spring 2024 onwards. In addition to domestic exhibitions of the fieldwork, initial findings from the workshops will be shared via academic conferences.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

A workshop was not carried out before the end of the fiscal year. The amount will be used for workshops in the next fiscal year.
