DESCRIPTION:How has the teaching of film in history classrooms in the age o
 f streaming transformed history classrooms? What is the integrity of natio
 nal culture in an age when audiences are dispersed globally? How are popul
 ar representations of the past challenging history as practiced in its con
 ventional institutional sites? \nThe papers in this panel take up these qu
 estions and explore film and history in diverse global locales and point t
 o possible re-articulations of nation/global after globalization. If it ca
 n be said that academic historical practice held hegemonic sway over popul
 ar genres like film and fiction\, in the past decade\, we see the rise of 
 popular challenges to the same practice. These popular challenges are taki
 ng the form of global\, post-secular\, majoritarian perspectives.\nNeilesh
  Bose will explore the significance of a popular retelling of a history of
  decolonization in the Global North. He explores the story of the assasina
 tion of Patrice Lumumba as told in the 2024 film Soundtrack to a Coup D’
 Etat as a global story told in the Global North. Chris Chekuri explores th
 e post-secular narration of tribal uprisings in the popular Telugu film\, 
 RRR\, and asks how the film resolves post-secularity for a global audience
 . Sean Hanretta explores the rise of popular African film in the American 
 classroom and the questions of translation of history and genre involved. 
 All three papers examine how the past is portrayed in the new global and t
 ransnational context and ask what new global imaginings are visible after 
 the era of globalization.
