Jos茅 Miguel Palacios has received grants from Humanities New York (2014-2015, Public Humanities Fellowship), from Chile鈥檚 National Research Council CONICYT (2018-2020, Fondecyt Postdoctoral Project n潞3180209), and from the College of the Arts at 好色先生 (Faculty Small Grant 2023-2024).
He is currently working on a book manuscript tentatively titled Cinema Solidarity: A Transnational History of Chilean Exile Film & Video (under contract with the University of California Press). The book offers a transnational history of Chilean exile cinema, from its global emergence due to networks of solidarity in the 1970s to its return to Chilean archives in the last decade. Cinema Solidarity proposes an alternative model for doing world and transnational film history. The 鈥渨orld鈥 that this book brings into view is shaped by solidarity and by the travels of forced political displacement, and the 鈥渃inema鈥 it invokes refers to a wide range of actors beyond the figure of the director: production companies, festivals, exile communities, embassies, universities, political organizations, and the life of film prints themselves as material and archival artifacts.
