Reviews
Many of the essays are conceptually rich; all are readable. This impressive collection, strongly recommended for students and scholars at all levels, is an important addition to scholarship on documentary film., The book is an interesting collection, and in its attention to close readings and details, it presents an alternative to many of the other documentary anthologies presently available., It provide[s] a thorough and flexible set of teaching texts for a senior undergraduate course on documentary film...It works as a teaching anthology because the writing is clear and accessible to senior undergraduate students, and because so many essays consist of textual analysis that engages larger cultural contexts and are explicit in their methodology., The extremely broad range of documentary films and videos--from Nanook of the North to Paris Is Burning --makes this an extremely useful and instructive text for several communication courses., Grant and Sloniowski have assembled a very fine collection, representing the best current scholarly writing on documentary. Since the anthology covers the full breadth of documentary films from Nanook of the North to Paris Is Burning, it consititutes a kind of critical history as well. It will be a gold mine for teachers and students and in many disciplines--as both reference and text book., There is something for everyone in this text. It adequately traces the history of documentary filmmaking, offers a worthwhile cross-sampling of a variety of documentary styles, and privileges the voices of scholars who build on theoretical and critical work of past theorists. Documenting the Documentary is a complex collection of critical essays, a wonderful reference text, an enjoyable read for the cinephile, and of potential benefit in the academic classroom.

Synopsis
Documenting the Documentary features essays by twenty-seven film scholars from a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives. Each essay focuses on one or two important documentaries, engaging in questions surrounding ethics, ideology, politics, power, race, gender, and representation -- but always in terms of how they arise out of or are involved in the reading of specific documentaries as particular textual constructions. By closely reading documentaries as rich visual works, this anthology fills a void in the critical writing on documentaries, which tends to privilege production over aesthetic pleasure. As we perceive and comprehend the world through visual media increasingly, understanding the textual strategies by which individual documentaries are organized has become critically important. Together, the essays cover the significant developments in the history of the documentary, from the first commercially released feature, Nanook of the North (1922), to modern independent productions, such as An American Family (1973), Tongues Untied (1989), and Finding Christa (1991), and including important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Seth Feldman places Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) within the context of constructivism and futurism; Vivian Sobchack discusses the strategies of Bunuel's Las Hurdas (Land without Bread, 1931) in relation to surrealism; and Joanne Hershfield explores Que viva Mexico (1932) as the presentation of an exotic culture by a European director. Documenting the Documentary offers clear, serious, and insightful analyses of documentary films, and is a welcome balancebetween theory and criticism, abstract conceptualization and concrete analysis., Documenting the Documentary features essays by 27 film scholars from a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives.
