They Must Be Represented examines documentary in print,
photography, television and film from the 1930s through the 1980s,
using the lens of recent feminist film theory as well as
scholarship on race, class and gender emerging from the new
interdisciplinary approach of American cultural studies. Paula
Rabinowitz discusses the ways in which these four media shaped
truth-claims and political agency over the decades: in the 1930s,
about poverty, labor and popular culture during the depression; in
the 1960s, about the Vietnam War, racism, work and counterculture;
and in the 1980s, about feminist and gay critiques of gender,
history, narrative and cinema. A great deal of documentary
expression has been influenced by developments in cultural
anthropology, as committed artists brought their cameras and
typewriters into the field not only to report, but also to change
the world. Yet recently the projects of both anthropology and
documentary have come under scrutiny. Rabinowitz argues that the
gendering of vision that occurs when narratives confirm to
conventional genres profoundly affects the relation of
documentarian to subject. She goes on to define this gendering of
vision in documentary as an ethnographic process. Ultimately, this
polemical study challenges the construction of the spectator in
psychoanalytic film theory, and articulates a new model for
theorizing power relations in culture and history.
