Since the SCMS conference was last here twelve years ago, the Society has seen both membership and the conference itself increase dramatically in size. This year in Atlanta we have twice the number of panels as we had in 2004. Our growth confirms the vitality of cinema and media studies, as well as its continuing importance to the academy internationally and to our increasingly globalized societies. I know from previewing the program that it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. Given the dazzling assortment of panels on tap for the five days of our conference, I hope you will find this year’s selection as exciting and stimulating as in years past. And as dizzying, perhaps, as you try to decide where to go next. To assist you in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app. Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.

  • The Creation of the Relations Between Israel and Brazil from a Pioneering Perspective: Between Diplomacy and Kibbutz MEIR CHAZAN
    CHAPTER 12 The Creation of the Relations between Israel and Brazil from a Pioneering Perspective: Between Diplomacy and Kibbutz MEIR CHAZAN INTRODUCTION n May 1953, the Israeli foreign minister, Moshe Sharett, visited Brazil. IIn his report to the government following his return from his South American tour, Sharett related that in his speech at the official, festive dinner held in his honor in Rio de Janeiro, he applauded several things that were being done in a similar manner in Brazil and in Israel. A settlement project was being carried out in Brazil, and in Israel: “There, they are pioneers, and so are we; they are a country surrounded by sister nations, but not of the same people, and we are, too.” Brazil was a country that consisted of people who came from diverse cultures, and so was Israel. On the following day, the speech was praised in one of the Brazilian newspapers, although the writer noted that the comparison was original but questionable, since the foreign minister did not mention the difference between “us,” the Brazilians, and them: “they,” in Israel, “turn the desert into a blooming garden, while we turn a blooming garden into desert.”1 1 Protocol of the Government of Israel, May 17, 1953, Israel State Archives, Jerusalem (here- after ISA). Sharett spoke before representatives of the Brazilian Journalists Association in the presence of senior members of the Brazilian foreign ministry, including Osvaldo Aranha, the Brazilian ambassador to the United Nations who chaired the famous session of the United Nations General Assembly on November 29, 1947. For Sharett’s speech and for the program of his visit to Brazil, see ISA, FO 6/236.
