Beskrivning

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.
