From a boom in theatrical features to footage posted on websites
such as "YouTube" and "Google Video," the early years of the 21st
century have witnessed significant changes in the technological,
commercial, aesthetic, political, and social dimensions of
documentaries on film, television and the web. . .
In response to these rapid developments, this book rethinks the
notion of documentary, in terms of theory, practice and object/s of
study. Drawing together 26 original essays from scholars and
practitioners, it critically assesses ideas and constructions of
documentary and, where necessary, proposes new tools and arguments
with which to examine this complex and shifting terrain. . .
Covering a range of media output, the book is divided into four
sections: . . . Critical perspectives on documentary forms and
concepts . The changing faces of documentary production.
Contemporary documentary: borders, neighbours and disputed
territories . Digital and online documentaries: opportunities and
limitations . . . "Rethinking Documentary" is valuable reading for
scholars and students working in documentary theory and practice,
film studies, and media studies.. .
