The spirit that founded the volume and guided its development is
radically inter- and transdisciplinary. Dispatches have arrived
from anthropology, communications, English, film studies (including
theory, history, criticism), literary studies (including theory,
history, criticism), media and screen studies, cognitive cultural
studies, narratology, philosophy, poetics, politics, and political
theory; and as a special aspect of the volume, theorist-filmmakers
make their thoughts known as well. Consequently, the critical
reflections gathered here are decidedly pluralistic and
heterogeneous, inviting-not bracketing or partitioning-the dynamism
and diversity of the arts, humanities, social sciences, and even
natural sciences (in so far as we are biological beings who are
trying to track our cognitive and perceptual understanding of a
nonbiological thing-namely, film, whether celluloid-based or in
digital form); these disciplines, so habitually cordoned off from
one another, are brought together into a shared conversation about
a common object and domain of investigation. This book will be of
interest to theorists and practitioners of nonfiction film; to
emerging and established scholars contributing to the secondary
literature; and to those who are intrigued by the kinds of
questions and claims that seem native to nonfiction film, and who
may wish to explore some critical responses to them written in
engaging language.
