Workshop “Telenovelas and memory images in Latin America”, 21.-22.03.22

Together with our partners from the Institute of Communication and Image at the Universidad de Chile, we organized a workshop on “Telenovelas and Memory Images in Latin America” in Santiago de Chile during March 21-22, 2022. The goal of this interdisciplinary workshop was to present and discuss the first results of our research. In particular, the workshop addressed the issue of how memory images can be analyzed within the South American context, as well as how they are addressed by Latin American telenovelas. Among other things, it was about the treatment of the Chilean and Brazilian military dictatorships in telenovelas such as Los 80 or Anos Rebeldes, as well as how Colombian history is addressed in national and international productions. The participants were researchers and cooperation partners from Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Germany and Spain.
