Globetrotters' Japan: People, Foreigners on the Tourist Circuit in Meiji Japan :

 1.  THREE takeaway points from the essay.  These should be points that you find to be of particular interest with regard to the representation of Japan in this context

1-During the late 1800's a fad called "Globetrotting" became a thing. It's the idea that people take guided tours around the world stopping at various locations , along with this company's popped up in order to help people who wanted to do it.

2-Globetrotters were interested in buying images of Japanese places and people that best represent their experiences and meet their expectations.

3-In Japan guidebooks the most common ads were for photography/souvenir photo album companies .

2-TWO images from the unit. Please write an analysis that encompasses both a visual analysis of the image and a content analysis that addresses the "politics of representation" as seen in the image.  (The "politics of representation" has to do with ways in which meaning is constructed/conveyed through visual media or language, utilizing the various things we have discussed thus far, including ideology, coding, and myth.)  

I chose this image because i loved the a happy picture full of roses in her dress in her head and where she sat even the wall has the reflection of flowers , so to me she just look like a rose between roses , a tourist may like to buy this just to see that beautiful Japanese ladies in a special position with and old music instrument surrounded with flowers.                                                                                                  

This is an exotic picture that looks like an illusory picture kind of old road dusty and barbaric , this picture shows a bizarre place looks like forest , what attracted me in this pictures is the view of this plants divided by that dusty road where we see only two men . no animals i was expecting to see animals there instead of men . this look weird to me it s just an illusory .I think a tourist may be interested to buy it because it s an exotic picture and very rare to see something like this and it's difficult to be understood and interpreted it s a mysterious picture .
