((dfs /at/ aber.ac.uk) <mailto:(dfs /at/ aber.ac.uk)>) and Pietari Kaapa

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.
