The Handbook of Documentary is an important go-to resource for
practitioners, scholars and students in this burgeoning field. It
tackles key topics and debates – from the role of documentary in
post-truth culture to the rise of streaming giants (and the
implications for national documentary cultures) and the shifting
(increasingly hybrid) practices of documentary activism and the
professionalization of impact. Featuring work by key figures in
international documentary scholarship and talented emerging scholars,
the Handbook is a landmark publication for documentary studies in the
twenty-first century. The Handbook is broad in its scope,
incorporating historical, theoretical, empirical, and practical
scholarship. It is organized around ten key themes/debates: What and
where is documentary (studies)?; Documentary in an Age of epistemic
uncertainty; Documentary histories; Documentary and the Archive;
Audio/Visualities; Documentary Relationalities; Beyond the
Anthropocene?; Digital/documentary practices; Documentary and (new)
politics?; A golden age? Documentary distribution and funding.
Importantly, the Handbook challenges the dominance of Western voices
in documentary scholarship, incorporating the voices and practices of
practitioners from the Global South.
