This book presents a chronology of thirty definitions attributed to
the word, term, phrase, and concept of "documentary" between the
years 1895 and 1959. The book dedicates one chapter to each of the
thirty definitions, scrutinizing their idiosyncratic language games
from close range while focusing on their historical roots and
concealed philosophical sources of inspiration. Dan Geva's
principal argument is twofold: first, that each definition is an
original ethical premise of documentary; and second, that only the
structured assemblage of the entire set of definitions successfully
depicts the true ethical nature of documentary insofar as we agree
to consider its philosophical history as a reflective object of
thought in a perpetual state of being-self-defined: an ethics sui
generis.
