Other possible histories? Reflecting on the photographic archive of Orlando Fals Borda

In this session of Transmedia HistoryTelling Live, we talk to historian Verónica Salazar Baena of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia about her recent work on Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda. Together, we analysed the photo book Fals Borda: Photographer. Saucio 1949-1964 (2022) and the script of the exhibition ‘Field Diary: Orlando Fals Borda in Saucio’, which was on display at the National Library of Colombia between October 2023 and March 2024. Based on these two projects, we discuss the ‘other possible histories’ that Fals Borda's photographs reveal, and explore the methodological perspectives that were emerging in Latin America during the mid-20th century.

Von China Erzählen. Eine historische Aufgabe?

Es wird derzeit viel über die vermeintlich „richtige“ China-Strategie diskutiert. Dabei neigt das in Europa und den USA praktizierte China-Bild teils zu extremer Vereinfachung der historischen Gegebenheiten von Chinas atemberaubenden Wandel. Einigkeit besteht, dass wir „mehr“ China-Kompetenz benötigen. Welches Wissen diese aber konkret beinhaltet, und wie wir von China erzählen sollten, sind Fragen, die wir uns nicht nur als Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler und noch dazu auf allen Ebenen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens stellen müssen.
