Description
About the Book
Examines how contemporary documentary films depict the individual performing the self.Book Synopsis
Doing Documentary, Becoming Subjects explores a range of contemporary nonfiction films, including autobiography, essay film and animated documentary, to understand how these films depict identities being constructed, altered and performed. By applying concepts such as performativity and Deleuze and Guattari's metaphysics, this book aims to show how the self in documentary is in constant states of becoming at the same time as the films are themselves brought into existence.Review Quotes
A timely and reflective addition to the literature on personal cinemas, Adam Vaughan's lucidly written book locates and illuminates crucial strategies and processes of documentary performance, embodiment, reflexivity, and becoming. This is a fruitful treatment of a range of important and diverse case studies from international nonfiction film of today.-- "Professor Laura Rascaroli, University College Cork"
