Examines the politics of female authorship in relation to
contemporary documentary practicesThis book, like its twin volume
'Female Authorship and the Documentary Image', centres on pressing
issues in relation to female authorship in contemporary documentary
practices. Addressing the politics of representation and authorship
both behind and in front of the camera, a range of international
scholars now expand the theoretical and practical framework
informing the current scholarship on documentary cinema, which has
so far neglected questions of gender.'Female Agency and Documentary
Strategies' centres on how self-portraiture and contemporary
documentary manifestations such as blogging and the prevalent usage
of social media shape and inform female subjectivities and claims
to truth. The book examines the scope of authorship and agency open
to women using these technologies as a form of activism, centring
on notions of relationality, selfhood and subjectivity, and
includes interviews with Hong Kong based activist filmmaker and
scholar Vivian Wenli Lin and Spanish documentarist Mercedes
Alvarez.ContributorsAnna Backman Rogers, University of
