Historias para pensar el presente: el caso de Venezuela 

In this episode, we talk with Guillermo Ramos Flamerich about the current situation in Venezuela from a historical perspective. We discuss Venezuela's democratic system today and its connection to the country's political history for the last 25 years. Guillermo spoke about the background of struggles and the construction of representative democracy in 20th-century Venezuela, its decline and loss of credibility at the end of the century, and the rise of Chavismo—first as a source of hope and then as a return to authoritarian leadership. Finally, we talked about the country’s repositioning of alliances on the global stage. This event was a joint effort between Transmedia Historytelling and @ifphexplorers of the International Federation for Public History. The interviewers are Jimena Perry and Karla Escobar.

Los retos de la investigación para la televisión: una charla sobre la serie “Los diarios del agua” 

In June 2024, the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History (ICANH) launched the documentary series "Diarios del Agua" on the TV channel Telecaribe. The series explores the challenges currently faced by communities in La Guajira, San Andrés, Canal del Dique, Barranquilla, Urabá Chocoano, and La Mojana, examining the interplay of culture, politics, and a new approach to water management. This project involved renowned researchers across various social science fields and key regional collectives. We speak with Angélica Medina (Deputy Director of ICANH and Diarios del Agua director) and Vladimir Montaña (scriptwriter and researcher) about the series. We discuss with them the challenges of research and television.

Hablemos del "Derecho por fuera del derecho" con Jorge González Jácome 

In this session, we talk with Jorge González Jácome, a professor at the Law Faculty of the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. Together, we explore his podcast *El derecho por fuera del derecho*, co-hosted with Nicolás Parra Herrera. This podcast delves into "the other law," described by its creators as "that which is not limited to laws, judicial decisions, or legal norms, but manifests in places where legality often goes unnoticed, yet where our humanity is at stake." The discussions, often centered on film analysis intertwined with the life stories of the hosts, take us through philosophy, the arts, music, and literature. In addition to the podcast, we also talk with Jorge about his novel *La Incierta forma del Tiempo* (2023), a work that combines literary narrative with deep reflections on law, history, and the human experience.

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.
