| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this joint research are in the image development as teaching materials and the model making of the image use. To achieve these purposes, we organized a joint research association including five research members and three research cooperators, and made the following four concrete plans in practice.
1) Improvement of image production method for non-professionals, development of image teaching material, and making of image work in public.
2) Development of the practice program of the media literacy education.
3) Cross-cultural exchange of peoples by use of image work as communication tools and design of a exchange system.
4) Practical cooperation of universities and society, by use of image media works.

Mugiko Nishikawa wrote a paper focused on the video camera effect in the fieldwork on the relation between researcher and the people who researched. Mis. Rika Tsujino (research cooperator) reported the possibility of mutual understanding between Japanese Korean and native Japanese by their cooperative video making works in a local Korean school in Japan. Saburo Morita (research member) made an international student short video festival started with Dr. Byung-ho Chung (a professor of visual anthropology in Hanyang University in Korea) on November 23, 2006. The powerful effects of the ordinary life images made by non-professional students on the mutual understanding of other cultures are reported in the final report. As for plan 4, kaori Sakagami made a documentary film, "LIFERS: REACHING FOR LIFE BEYOND THE WALLS" exploring the stories of lifers currently serving time in the California penal system, in 2004. She has visited the movie theater in the whole country, and show her documentary film for the people and talked the social background of the film to these days. She also made an experimental practice of image effects on society by participating the V-Day event. The reports of Suzuki and Morita also contain their practice in the international seminar “Jizo and local community in images", held on Feburuary 24, 2008, in Konan University at Kobe. Less
