World History Connected | Vol. 16 No. 2 | John Maunu: Digital Resources for Teaching World History with Cinema and Film


Digital Resources for Teaching World History with Cinema and Film John Maunu
Two opposing views dominate discussion of cinema and film in the world history classroom. One view is that humans are visual learners and film can increase student learning and understanding, and the other is that cinema and film is too often inaccurate history leaving "false" impressions with students. Critics claim that film and cinema are not "as it was" believing that their nature is first to entertain, and in many cases, romanticize historical events and characters. Thus, film destroys the reality of historical research and teaching real history to students. As early as 1915, D.W. Griffith, America's first great movie producer and director, believed that, "Children in public schools will be taught practically everything by moving pictures. Certainly, they will never be obliged to read history again.¹ In 1969, William Arrowsmith, Professor of Classics, Arts and Literature, University of Texas, proclaimed with "distress and sadness" that the future of literature and arts, and others have included history, lies with film replacing them "in the traditional curriculum."² Supporters of film and cinema in the history classroom focus on modern students as "visual learners" saturated with social media and images, concluding that film and cinema, plus many other types of media and technology are a necessary tool for teaching history. They go on to add using screen images as another part of teaching the "historian's craft" of analysis is, simply, another strategy to study history. Daniel Reynaud, at Avondale College, Australia, claimed the most valuable use of historical movies is not so much as documents about events, but as documents about the significance of the events for the culture that made the films. For example, American movies about the Civil War or the Vietnam War may be poor sources of fact and chronology, but they are fascinating testimonies as to the attitudes of Americans towards those conflicts at the time the films were made. Convict era and Gallipoli films reveal more about why these events are important in Australia.³ Shane Denson and Ruth Mayer have suggested inviting students to consider how historical incidents, historical characters can change over time as they move from books, novels to TV to film. They discuss how narrative characters like Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, Fu Manchu, Fantomas, Superman, and Batman change over time due to "different media forms" affecting "the contents of serial narration," as well as how characters can change as they shift from novel to film, to radio, to TV to computer games, especially in the colonial and decolonial era, 1880-1960.⁴ And, finally, cinema and film can be used in a comparative framing of history where students and teachers struggle with different historical memory which Michael Conway has claimed is true history education. In a 2015 article for The Atlantic, Conway, employed recent movies such as Selma (for its characterization of Lyndon Baines Johnson), Lincoln, The Iron Lady, and APUSH curriculum redesign(s) to supply evidence for arguing against "single-perspective narratives" as they are a disservice to history students. He concluded that students and teachers grappling with "contested histories/memories" is much more effective history education.⁵ The following digital resources for teaching world history with film and cinema include film documentaries, Hollywood, Nollywood, Bollywood, and many other regional cinema; Film Noir, British Pathé; state educational and news agency film clips, news clips, propaganda film; and other forms of screen images. Lessons, syllabi, analytical resources are included, along with criticism and defenses for using film and cinema in the world history classroom.

"Mushrooms of Concrete," Aeon, Videos, February 4, 2019. Enver Hoxha was president of Albania from 1944 to his death in 1985. He left a complex legacy of industrialization, isolationism, paranoia and economic stagnation in his wake. He used fear of 'invaders' to keep power with 'mushroom cloud' bunkers as a metaphor for protecting the Albanian people. In addition to purging political rivals, Hoxha believed that his country risked being invaded by any number of perceived foreign foes, including NATO forces and former Soviet bloc allies. In preparation for an invasion that never came, Hoxha sunk much of the country's resources and manpower into building some 750,00 bunkers throughout Albania, even as many of his people struggled to meet their most basic needs, declaring that "The bunkers are our cathedral, our scar. They are part of our face." Mushrooms of Concrete explores the contemporary lives of these 'bunkers of an imaginary war'. Still omnipresent throughout the Albanian countryside, today they exist as monuments of a difficult past, even as some have been transformed into storage facilities, tourist attractions, clubs and restaurants. https://reverb.com/news/bbc-releases-16000-wav-files-of-sound-effects-and-field-recordings?fbclid=IwAR0OVO2OFpw47Lmzdyflfd1vNAhymLISl2bQKu7APKz JCEPBU7_PkQpaWvs&utm_campaign=1612019_blogbbcrecordings&utm_medium=FB&utm_source=FB Joel Handley, "BBC Releases 16,000 WAV Files of Sound Effects and Field Recordings," Reverb, April 18, 2018.
