Recensioner i media

“Cognitive Theory and Documentary Film is a much-needed and comprehensive addition to the literature on documentary filmmaking. … it is well-orchestrated, creative, and an occasion for future thought. Cognitivist analysis should be extended to documentary practices. The directions of research are multiple and prismatic, as this volume amply and convincingly proves.” (Laura T. Di Summa, Projections, Vol. 14 (1), 2020)“This volume … constitutes the first sustained study of documentary film from a cognitive perspective. … Cognitive Theory and Documentary Film is a fine step towards the realization of a humanities-straddling cognitive paradigm of making meaning.” (Charles Forceville, Leonardo, .leonardo.info, August, 2019)
