[ecrea] Documentary Film Cultures - new book series - call for contributions

Mon May 22 22:41:53 GMT 2017




We are very pleased to announce the new book series Documentary Film Cultures, housed at Peter Lang and edited by Dafydd Sills-Jones ((dfs /at/ aber.ac.uk) <mailto:(dfs /at/ aber.ac.uk)>) and Pietari Kaapa ((P.Kaapa /at/ warwick.ac.uk) <mailto:(P.Kaapa /at/ warwick.ac.uk)>). Please get in touch with the editors if you want to discuss a project.

This series provides a space for exploring the development of documentary film cultures in the contemporary context. The series takes an ecological approach to the study of documentary funding, production, distribution and consumption by emphasizing the interconnections between these practices and those of other media systems. It thus encourages new ways of understanding documentary films or practices as part of other, wider systems of cultural production.

Volumes may focus on specific sociopolitical environments, such as that of a nation or region. Alternatively, they may explore specific themes or production practices, such as new wave documentaries, environmentalism or indigenous film communities. Studies of shared technological platforms, including films that make use of embodied technologies or using emergent distribution platforms, are also welcome.

The series reflects not only the maturing of literature on documentary film and media production studies over the last two decades but also the growing interest amongst nonacademic and professional audiences in documentary texts as they occupy an increasingly hybrid cultural space: part journalism, part art cinema, part activism, part entertainment, part digital culture.
