Abstract
From the blurb: "The author offers a penetrating look into the nature of
documentary work. Utilizing the documentaries of writers, photographers,
and filmmakers, the author shows how their prose and pictures are
influenced by the observers' frame of reference: their social and
educational background, personal morals, and political beliefs....
Documentary work, the author concludes, is a narrative constructed by the
observer and is meant not only to represent 'reality' but inevitably to
interpret it."
Chapters:
1. The Work: Locations in Theory.
2. The Person as Documentarian: Moral and Psychological Tensions.
3. The Tradition: Fact and Fiction.
4. A Range of Documentary Inquiry.
Epilogue: "Documentary Studies", A Course on Documentary Work. (contains a
sort of annotated bibliography, filmography.)
