CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to Cinegogía, a Digital Humanities project with curated resources in Spanish and English related to Latin American Film Studies. Cinegogía’s Editorial Board curates and develops resources for teaching and researching Latin American cinema using a variety of approaches, including comparative analysis, national and regional studies, cultural studies, and film theory. This bilingual open-access archive publishes materials in the following areas:
- Syllabi Collection: syllabi for teaching film at different levels of the Spanish- and English-language curriculum
- Film Database: a filmography database with highly precise search and filter capabilities
- Film Guide Collection: teaching guides for frequently or recently taught films
- Course Materials Collection: classroom activities and assignments related to Latin American Film Studies, including thematic modules on Afro-Latin American Film Resources and Indigenous Representation in Latin American Film
- Video Essay Collection
- Videographic Scholarship
Launched in 2016, Cinegogía has been highlighted several times at the annual conference of the Latin American Studies Association, the largest professional organization in the world for individuals and institutions engaged in the study of Latin America. Cinegogía has been highlighted at several sponsored sessions of the Film Studies section during the Latin American Studies Association's conference, including a roundtable session on Archivos y plataformas: Políticas de impacto en los cines latinoamericanos at LASA’s 2024 conference. To find out more about the Cinegogía project, please visit this post on Mediático.
Since Cinegogía’s launch in 2016, the number of entries in the film database has surpassed 650, and we have published over 200 syllabi, film guides and other course materials in the Teaching Resources module. More than 9,400 visitors explore the site annually, 12% of whom are consistent returning users, and an average of 722 monthly users over the past three years. The majority of our users are educators based in the United States, however, 48% of our web traffic originates in other countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, United Kingdom, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Canada - evidence of the international scope of the project.
As an open-access, collaborative project, Cinegogía depends on the contributions of Latin American Film scholars and educators worldwide to create a robust and diverse collection of materials. Submissions undergo a blind peer review process, and all published submissions are clearly credited and stamped with the copyright license of your choice. We invite you to submit any of the following items for publication (items may be in English, Spanish or Portuguese):
- syllabus
- film guide
- film suggestions
- assignment/course materials
- video essays
- videographic scholarship
