Link Racial Past To The Present, Jill Ogline Titus

Civil War Institute Faculty Publications

The Smithsonian and Library of Congress are launching a new oral-history initiative, and films like Selma bring the movement to life for those who rarely read a history book or visit a museum.

This year brings more anniversaries: the Selma-to-Montgomery March, the passage of the Voting Rights Act, and the Watts rebellion. And the commemorative stakes are …

Réseaux Culturels, Réseaux Politiques. Les Archives Du Film En Amérique Latine, Des Années 1950 Aux Années 1970., German Silveira

Artl@s Bulletin

La prise de conscience de l’importance de préserver le patrimoine cinématographique et de développer une culture cinématographique nationale dans certains pays d’Amérique Latine doit être comprise simultanément au besoin d’appartenir à un réseau d’échange bien plus large que celui dessiné par les frontières nationales. Cet article se propose d’analyser les projets d’intégration des archives du film les plus importants dans la région dans une perspective historique : la création de la Section latino-américaine de la FIAF (1955) et la mise en place, à partir de 1965, de l’Union de Cinémathèques d’Amérique Latine (UCAL).

Crossing The Atlantic: Emilio Pettoruti's Italian Immersion, Lauren A. Kaplan

Artl@s Bulletin

The painter Emilio Pettoruti (1892-1971) was born to Italian parents in the Argentine province of La Plata. In 1913, he sailed to Florence for artistic training and remained in Europe for eleven years. This article focuses on this formative stint, during which Pettoruti studied Quattrocento masters, conferred with Italian Futurists, and met French Cubists. Ultimately, the painter became a paragon of civiltá italiana, a cosmopolitan culture born in Italy but meant for global dissemination. Upon returning to Buenos Aires in 1924, he exposing the Argentine public to this culture, strengthening the already robust bond between the two countries.
