Sara Blaylock's article "Bringing the War Home to the United States and East Germany: In the Year of the Pig and Pilots in Pajamas" appears in the most recent issue of Cinema Journal (vol. 56, no 4). The text argues that, in addition to contesting the war in Vietnam, documentarians in both the US and East Germany used the conflict to project their desires for more progressive mass media in their own countries.
Sara also contributed a reflective text on her article to Cinema Journal's "Afterthoughts and Postscripts." In this text, "Post-truth and the critical media consumer: Afterthoughts on In the Year of the Pig and Pilots in Pajamas", she considers how the strategies of persuasion in use by the filmmakers who made In the Year of the Pig and Pilots in Pajamas--both produced in the late 1960s--differ from those of the contemporary.
In August, the Museum of Modern Art published Sara's text on performance art and independent galleries in a late East Germany ("Performing the Subject, Claiming Space: Performance Art in 1980s East Germany"). The text, which draws from Sara's current research project, appears in the museum's online publication post. A video interview Sara conducted with MOMA as part of a speaking engagement in March 2017 accompanies the text.
