Tracing continuities in digital and documentary practices, this book
is a study of interactive documentary from the perspective of
documentary culture. Exploring the dizzying array of new documentary
forms that have emerged in the past ten years, the book is grounded in
the analysis of multiple recent examples of digital documentary work,
drawing out the key issues that the work raises. These issues provide
a starting point for theoretical reflection, with each chapter
developing concepts and frameworks to facilitate thinking with and
through interactive documentary. The book explores questions of
polyvocality, participation, and political voice, as well as the
sociality and performativity of digital documentary practice. By
thinking deeply and critically about interactive documentary practice,
the book charts the many and various ways in which interactive
documentaries claim the real – contingently, partially, or, in some
cases, collectively. Each chapter draws on a range of examples –
from digital games to data visualisations, database documentaries to
virtual reality – demonstrating how we might engage with these
‘unstable’ digital texts. The book will be particularly valuable
for students and researchers keen to make connections between
documentary and digital media scholarship.
