Giulia Battaglia

Documentary Film in India (eBook, PDF)

An Anthropological History

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Grounded in anthropological fieldwork and archival research and adopting Foucault's concept of 'effective history', it searches for points of origin that creates ruptures and deviations taking distance from conventional ways of writing film histories. Rather than presenting a univocal set of arguments and conclusions about changes or new developments of film techniques, the originality of the book is in offering an open structure (or an open archive) to enable the reader to engage with mechanisms of creation, engagement and participation in film and art practices at large.
