American Documentary Filmmaking in the Digital Age examines the
recent challenges to the conventions of realist documentary through
the lens of war documentary films by Ken Burns, Michael Moore, and
Errol Morris. During the twentieth century, the invention of new
technologies of audiovisual representation such as cinema,
television, video, and digital media have transformed the modes of
historical narration and with it forced historians to assess the
impact of new visual technologies on the construction of history.
This book investigates the manner in which this contemporary
Western "crisis" in historical narrative is produced by a larger
epistemological shift in visual culture. Ricciardelli uses the
theme of war as depicted in these directors' films to focus her
study and look at the model(s) of national identity that Burns,
Morris, and Moore shape through their depictions of US military
actions. She examines how postcolonial critiques of historicism and
the advent of digitization have affected the narrative structure of
documentary film and the shaping of historical consciousness
through cinematic representation.
