| description |
In 1962 the Rockefeller Foundation (FR) released the documentary Harvest, designed to disseminate the scope of the agricultural programs that, since the 1940s, had been initiated through collaborative agreements with different Latin American countries. Harvest addressed a specialized audience –in the United States– made up of government personnel and private agencies dedicated to international technical assistance, as well as scientists and students from the agricultural field. It was, therefore, an internal propaganda campaign that privileged the cinema as a diffuser. From transnational history, the article analyzes the conception of the documentary, its production process and its distribution. The research proposes that –appealing to the American audience– the narrative of the documentary was aimed at affirming the idea that the FR had established a model of technical assistance that could be taken up by other programs. Within the framework of the cultural diplomacy campaigns that the United States directed towards Latin America to promote of hemispheric unity, during the Cold War. Likewise, the documentary sought to demonstrate the growing role of the RF in the articulation of scientific networks and exchanges, from which a model of agricultural modernization was internationalized that in 1968 was named: Green Revolution. |

I11-R98article-37632022-05-24T13:09:38Z Cinema, Modernization, and Science: The Rockefeller Foundation Documentary Harvest Cine, modernización y ciencia: El documental Harvest de la Fundación Rockefeller Méndez Rojas, Diana Alejandra Documentary film, propaganda, philanthropy, agriculture, Green Revolution Documentary film, propaganda, philanthropy, agriculture, Green Revolution In 1962 the Rockefeller Foundation (FR) released the documentary Harvest, designed to disseminate the scope of the agricultural programs that, since the 1940s, had been initiated through collaborative agreements with different Latin American countries. Harvest addressed a specialized audience –in the United States– made up of government personnel and private agencies dedicated to international technical assistance, as well as scientists and students from the agricultural field. It was, therefore, an internal propaganda campaign that privileged the cinema as a diffuser. From transnational history, the article analyzes the conception of the documentary, its production process and its distribution. The research proposes that –appealing to the American audience– the narrative of the documentary was aimed at affirming the idea that the FR had established a model of technical assistance that could be taken up by other programs. Within the framework of the cultural diplomacy campaigns that the United States directed towards Latin America to promote of hemispheric unity, during the Cold War. Likewise, the documentary sought to demonstrate the growing role of the RF in the articulation of scientific networks and exchanges, from which a model of agricultural modernization was internationalized that in 1968 was named: Green Revolution. En 1962 la Fundación Rockefeller (FR) estrenó el documental Harvest, diseñado para difundir los alcances de los programas agrícolas que, desde la década de 1940, había iniciado mediante acuerdos colaborativos con distintos países latinoamericanos. Harvest se dirigió a una audiencia especializada –en Estados Unidos– conformada por personal del gobierno y de agencias privadas dedicadas a la asistencia técnica internacional, así como por científicos y estudiantes del área agrícola. Fue, por tanto, una campaña de propaganda interna que privilegió al cine como difusor. Desde la historia transnacional el artículo analiza la concepción del documental, su proceso de producción y su distribución. La investigación propone que –apelando a la audiencia estadunidense– la narrativa del documental se dirigió a afirmar la idea de que la FR había establecido un modelo de asistencia técnica que podrían retomar otros programas. En el marco de las campañas de diplomacia cultural que Estados Unidos dirigió hacia América Latina para el fomento de la unidad hemisférica, durante la Guerra Fría. Asimismo, el documental buscó evidenciar el creciente papel de la FR en la articulación de redes e intercambios científicos, desde los cuales se internacionalizó un modelo de modernización agrícola que en 1968 fue nombrado: revolución verde. Em 1962, a Fundação Rockefeller (FR) lançou o documentário Harvest, destinado a divulgar o alcance dos programas agrícolas que, desde a década de 1940, eram iniciados por meio de acordos de colaboração com diversos países latino-americanos. A Harvest dirigiu-se a um público especializado –nos Estados Unidos– formado por funcionários públicos e órgãos privados dedicados à assistência técnica internacional, além de cientistas e estudantes da área agrícola. Foi, portanto, uma campanha de propaganda interna que privilegiou o cinema como difusor. A partir da história transnacional, o artigo analisa a concepção do documentário, seu processo de produção e sua distribuição. A pesquisa propõe que - apelando para o público americano - a narrativa do documentário teve como objetivo afirmar a ideia de que o FR havia estabelecido um modelo de assistência técnica que poderia ser retomado por outros programas. No marco das campanhas de diplomacia cultural que os Estados Unidos dirigiram à América Latina para promover a unidade hemisférica, durante a Guerra Fria. Da mesma forma, o documentário buscou demonstrar o crescente papel da RF na articulação de redes e intercâmbios científicos, a partir do qual se internacionalizou um modelo de modernização agrícola que em 1968 foi denominado: Revolução Verde.
