{"product_id":"documenting-the-documentary","title":"Documenting the Documentary","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1998, \u003cem\u003eDocumenting the Documentary \u003c\/em\u003eresponded to a scholarly landscape in which documentary film was largely understudied and undervalued aesthetically, and analyzed instead through issues of ethics, politics, and film technology. Editors Barry Keith Grant and Jeannette Sloniowski addressed this gap by presenting a useful survey of the artistic and persuasive aspects of documentary film from a range of critical viewpoints. This new edition of \u003cem\u003eDocumenting the Documentary\u003c\/em\u003e adds five new essays on more recent films in addition to the text of the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Thirty-one film and media scholars, many of them among the most important voices in the area of documentary film, cover the significant developments in the history of documentary filmmaking from \u003cem\u003eNanook of the North\u003c\/em\u003e (1922), the first commercially released documentary feature, to contemporary independent film and video productions like Werner Herzog's \u003cem\u003eGrizzly Man \u003c\/em\u003e(2005) and the controversial \u003cem\u003eBorat\u003c\/em\u003e (2006). The works discussed also include representative examples of many important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts, from mainstream to avant-garde. In all, this volume offers a series of rich and revealing analyses of those \"regimes of truth\" that still fascinate filmgoers as much today as they did at the very beginnings of film history.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n As documentary film and visual media become increasingly important ways for audiences to process news and information, \u003cem\u003eDocumenting the Documentary\u003c\/em\u003e continues to be a vital resource to understanding the genre. Students and teachers of film studies and fans of documentary film will appreciate this expanded classic volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52640776946031,"sku":"9780814339718","price":334.5,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0814339719.jpg?v=1770398252","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/documenting-the-documentary","provider":"Loja UmLivro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
