Guidelines for submissions
OLA and FADU-UBA, in collaboration with CEPAT, seek to bring together knowledge and information about activities and thinking about how governments and civil society constructed their centennial commemorations and how they are now constructing their bicentennials. Submissions should focus on:
1. Documentation and interpretation of the different modes by which Latin American countries constructed their national centennial commemorations and how they left their mark on their respective cities and visual imagination. This can include the study of media, policies, projects, public works, social mobilization, official and civil society commemorations, cultural production, visual images and photography production and dissemination, and forms of urban transformation.
2. Documentation and interpretation of present preparations of the Bicentennials in these countries. This can include evidence in the above areas and other more contemporary activities related to new technologies such as videos, films, interactive projects, or internet applications.
3. Comparison of these themes between past and present and across American countries.

1. academic papers that could include visual images; or
