Abstract
This article aims to explore the particularities of American movies about Devil’s Island during the 1930’s but also to analyse how this specific interworld war context had a deep impact in the depiction of this penal colony. We refer to the methodological tools of cultural history to look at the United States and France internally and externally, using the movies as axes of interpretation regarding penal colonies, penal systems and old empires, but also to understand how a social imagery of Devil’s Island was slowly created through photos, documentaries, articles, features and memoirs.
期刊介绍：
The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television is an international and interdisciplinary journal concerned with the history of the audio-visual mass media from c.1900 to the present. It explores the institutional and ideological contexts of film, radio and television, analyses the evidence produced by the mass media for historians and social scientists, and considers the impact of mass communications on political, social and cultural history. The needs of those engaged in research and teaching are served by scholarly articles, book reviews and by archival reports concerned with the preservation and availability of records. In addition the journal aims to provide a survey of developments in the teaching of history and social science courses which involve the use of film and broadcast materials. Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television is the official journal of the International Association for Media and History (IAMHIST). All articles published in the journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editorial screening and the opinion of at least two anonymous referees.
