>A major international collection of new writing 
>on screen documentary (film, television, web), from scholars and practitioners.
>
> 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.
