[ecrea] Invitation to submit book proposals to Documentary Film Cultures

Tue Jun 20 17:31:39 GMT 2017






Peter Lang Oxford is pleased to announce the launch of the new book series

*Documentary Film Cultures <https://www.peterlang.com/view/serial/DFC>*

Edited by Dafydd Sills-Jones (Aberystwyth University) and Pietari Kääpä (University of Warwick)

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.
