Review: <i>Transatlantic Encounters: Latin American Artists in Paris between the Wars</i>, by Michele Greet

The time has arrived to assess critical pedagogical methodologies for teaching Latin American history incorporating movingimage and sound media. The larger tradition of using film and video in humanities university classrooms is a much more welllaid path. Teaching-scholars who are readers of this journal are no doubt aware of defining works: John E. O'Connor's Film and Humanities and Image as Artifact and Robert Sklar and Charles Musser's Resisting Images-as well as pioneering work by Martin A. Jackson, Nicholas Pronay, K. R. M. Short, Peter C. Rollins, Paul Smith, Robert Brent Toplin, Robert A. Rosenstone, Richard C. Raack, Hayden White, and others. The American Historical Association's newsletter Perspectives alongside Film & History, University Vision, The History Teacher, and a few other scholarly journals have provided over recent decades a forum for exchange of teaching-related issues and ideas and syllabi for courses involving moving-image and sound media. This essay extends this tradition and focuses upon Latin America by briefly surveying most relevant sources and following up on their discussion of pedagogically theoretical issues in current use. The second section of this essay spotlights a sampling of syllabi from leading scholars in field, offering a variety of effective approaches and templates for teaching Latin American film and history in university classroom, especially given issues covered in first section. The final section will list handful of available filmographies and contact points for film distributors and databases relevant to Latin American film and history studies. Rather than simply focus on mechanics and processes of teaching, readers will find that materials collected herein will build upon those practical matters in a conscious application of philosophies behind methods. We find that, since 1970s, critical media studies within history and other humanities courses in academy have grown less rigidly defined by institutional definitions and progressively more inter-disciplinary. In case of many Latin Americanist teaching-scholars, their critical media instruction traverses cultural geography of Latin America, marking for their students both at same time importance of time-tested topics and themes now vantaged by myriad disciplinary models as well as, equally, multiple forms of literacy required to read them. While still expecting students to critically consider veracity of certain documents and materials, pedagogical methodologies must consider historiographie and self-reflexive hermeneutic issues involved in mediated historicizing of past. Readings on Latin American Film and History Instruction Perhaps earliest significant figure for Latin-Americanist who are also critical media educators is E. Bradford Burns, whose Latin American Cinema: Film and History and other works have provided basis for instruction of Latin American history through filmic texts. Standing alongside Burns' pivotal early work are Leon G. Campbell, Carlos E. Cortes, and Robert Finger's Latin America: A Filmic Approach, Cortes and Campbell's Film as a Revolutionary Weapon: A Pedagogical Analysis, Jane M. Loy's Latin America, Sights and Sounds, and Zuzana M. Pick's Latin American Filmmakers and Third Cinema. Where these groundbreaking works laid a foundation, many recent sources have taken up even more directly some of theoretical issues involved in teaching moving image and sound texts. Recent scholarly interest in approaching Latin American topics in humanities curricula demonstrates a new popularity in this field and suggests a growing concern for its careful study. Teaching sections of Radical History Review periodically include syllabi, such as Winter 1995 special section devoted to Latin America, although only syllabus to include film screenings as a course activity claims to examine their historical accuracy, evaluating film texts with the same kinds of questions . …

Notes From the Editors Gregory S. Crider and Jürgen Buchenau Returning to Nashville, TN for the first time since 2005, the Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies convened our Sixty-Fifth Annual Meeting on the lovely campus of Vanderbilt University 8–10 March 2018. Hosted by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the conference presented an abundance of opportunities to explore diverse themes. Program chairs Amy Borja (University of Dallas) and Lily Balloffet (Western Carolina University) put together panels in the areas of Literature & Humanities and History & Social Sciences, respectively; Jürgen Buchenau (University of North Carolina Charlotte) and Gregory S. Crider (Winthrop University) organized local arrangements. Following the SECOLAS Awards Banquet in the Student Life Center Ballroom, Dr. Jonathan Brown (University of Texas Austin) reflected on topics central to his wide-ranging and distinguished scholarship in Latin American history, including the main points of his most recent book, Cuba’s Revolutionary World. As this volume is the first published with our new partner, the University of North Carolina Press, The Latin Americanist enters a new period in its history. The transition should have limited impact on how readers access the journal and how authors submit manuscripts, but we anticipate that the new partnership will create new opportunities to enhance the TLA profile and expand readership. The journal will now be included in Project MUSE, an online database of peer-reviewed academic journals and books. The editorial leadership team is also considering new formats for special issues as well as discipline-specific and interdisciplinary literature reviews. We also look forward to ongoing collaboration with the SECOLAS podcast, Historias, which frequently includes interviews with TLA authors and other Latin Americanists from diverse disciplines. As always, the editors welcome new ideas and suggestions. This volume features some of the best papers from the conference in article format. Twelve of the 148 presenters at the conference submitted revised papers of their papers for publication. Following editorial and peer review and another round of revisions, the seven articles published in this issue represent a range of disciplines in both the humanities and social sciences. We are happy to present these articles, and we are grateful for the help provided in this endeavor by our graduate assistant, Leah Walton, who did particularly great work in helping us through the transition to our new publishing platform, Submittable. We are also grateful for the support from John McLeod, Director of the Office of Scholarly Publishing Services and Sam Dalzell, Journals and OSPS Coordinator, both with UNC [End Page 5] Press. Finally, we very much appreciate the help of Dr. Louis A. Perez, Jr., J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of History at UNC-Chapel Hill and Director of the Institute for the Study of the Americas, in facilitating the new partnership with UNC Press. UNC Charlotte, Winthrop University, and Wingate University, the three SECOLAS host institutions, offer significant financial and institutional support for the publication and success of this journal. In particular, we offer our gratitude to Dr. Nancy Gutierrez, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UNC Charlotte; to Dr. Adrienne McCormick, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Ellison Capers Palmer, Jr. Professorship of History at Winthrop; and to Dr. Helen Tate, Provost at Wingate University, for their continuing encouragement of both The Latin Americanist and SECOLAS.
