Ciak… Action, and History!

“Ciak… Action, and History !” is a section of the Open Access journal Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea. The section publishes contributions investigating the relationship between history and audiovisual materials and archives and welcomes interdisciplinary approaches. The use of audiovisual materials allow historians to enrich the possible array of primary and secondary sources. Moreover, audiovisual sources are also active agents able to affect the perception of specific events, collective imaginaries, public memories, and group identity. Also from pedagogical and outreaching perspectives, audiovisual media are gaining momentum. We are interested in articles exploring interactions between history and audiovisual products.
