In Dying in Full Detail Jennifer Malkowski explores digital media's
impact on one of documentary film's greatest taboos: the recording
of death. Despite technological advances that allow for the easy
creation and distribution of death footage, digital media often
fail to live up to their promise to reveal the world in greater
fidelity. Malkowski analyzes a wide range of death footage, from
feature films about the terminally ill (Dying, Silverlake Life,
Sick), to surreptitiously recorded suicides (The Bridge), to
#BlackLivesMatter YouTube videos and their precursors.
Contextualizing these recordings in the long history of attempts to
capture the moment of death in American culture, Malkowski shows
how digital media are unable to deliver death "in full detail," as
its metaphysical truth remains beyond representation. Digital
technology's capacity to record death does, however, provide the
opportunity to politicize individual deaths through their
representation. Exploring the relationships among technology,
temporality, and the ethical and aesthetic debates about capturing
death on video, Malkowski illuminates the key roles documentary
death has played in twenty-first-century visual culture.
