This sort of public pedagogy deployed by the audiovisual implies understanding the images not only as documents or sources the past but also as social discourses that propose different entries into the historical phenomenon that involve real struggles to "select" and establish visions and memories which, at certain moments in the present, become hegemonic. From this perspective, this semester's dossier brings together a series of national and international articles that address this debate in Latin America.
