Choosing the medium: serialization of the past
Already a contemporary take
Provides space
for historical complexity
Opportunity to elevate story through personalization
“As we are witnesses of the micro-perspective on 1960s history, we are asked, as viewers, to draw conclusions about the macro-level production of history by historians, textbooks, and a conservative culture.”
Experiential narrative techniques (nonlinear storytelling)
More accessible for contemporary audience
“Whenever the past is represented, the choice of media and forms has an effect on the kind of memory that is created…” (Astrid Erll)
