The Routledge Companion to History and the Moving Image takes an
interdisciplinary approach to understanding history in moving
images. It engages this popular and dynamic field that has evolved
rapidly from film and television to digital streaming into the age
of user-created content. The volume addresses moving-image history
through a theoretical lens; modes and genres; representation, race,
and identity; and evolving forms and formats. It brings together a
range of scholars from across the globe who specialize in film and
media studies, cultural studies, history, philosophy of history,
and education. Together, the chapters provide a necessary
contemporary analysis that covers new developments and questions
that arise from the shift to digital screen culture. The book
examines technological and ethical concerns stemming from today’s
media landscape, but it also considers the artificial construction
of the boundaries between professional expertise and amateur
production. Each contributor’s unique approach highlights the
necessity of engaging with moving images for the academic
discipline of history. The collection, written for a global
audience, offers accessible discussions of historiography and a
compelling resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates
in history, film and media studies, and communications.
Making History Move: Constructing a Historiophoty for the
Historical Film consolidates decades of scholarship investigating
history in visual culture in the fields of film and media, cultural
studies, and history. The book develops insights across these
fields, including philosophical considerations of film and history,
to clarify the form and function of history in moving images. It
addresses the implications of the historical film on public
historical consciousness in a systematic way, presenting criteria
for engaging and assessing the truth status of depictions of the
past. Its chapters offer a detailed methodology for analyzing
history in moving images for the digital age, proposing five
principles of analysis to organize past and future scholarship in
this vital, interdisciplinary field of study. Including films such
as The Birth of a Nation, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia,
and Saving Private Ryan the book sets the stage to examine the most
influential form of history with the most significant impact on
public perceptions of the past.

The key roles that the University of Southern California's
professional schools have played in promoting public affairs are
brought into sharp focus in this detailed history, edited by a
group of academic experts intimately involved in the development of
the school.Through its School of Policy, Planning and Development,
USC has taken a distinctive approach in pushing forward community
enterprise on a local and global basis. The school was forged
through a merger of its School of Public Administration and School
of Urban Planning and Development, both of which were pioneers in
their fields.This compilation was created as part of the 2009
celebration of SPPD's eighty years of widely shared academic
inquiry, facilitation of learning, and advancement of civic and
professional public practice. New generations seeking to sustain
the school's tradition of leadership now have a detailed history
that tells how amazing developments in technologies and systems
enabled the university to successfully promote its ideals.USC
Emeritus Dean of Gerontology, James Birren, sums it up well when he
states, "You can't know where you are going until you understand
where you have been." Recall the university's history of core
values, vital practices, and great contributions in "Futures of the
Past."
