Description

Review Remaking Reality resonates with both past and present realities, while it also points toward the imminent future. . . . It provides readers with historical depth and perspective, while also turning our attention toward the recent technological developments enabling new forms of media activism within and across diverse communities.--American Literary History[Remaking Reality] leaves both uninitiated readers and documentary experts with a plethora of new ideas and questions in regard to how documentary making has changed over time, how new and inherited methods of documentary have influenced the activist culture of today, and how tradition and new technologies will change the nature of documentary culture in the United States as the twenty-first century progresses.--H-Net ReviewsRemaking Reality's achievement is its spirited effort to understand the practices of documentary, in all of their creative rhythms and strategic discord. The editors succeed in documenting what Wexler describes as 'unique, individual, personal lives that could be rendered only in particularity.'--The Journal of Southern History Product Description After World War II, U.S. documentarians engaged in a rigorous rethinking of established documentary practices and histories. Responding to the tumultuous transformations of the postwar era--the atomic age, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the emergence of the environmental movement, immigration and refugee crises, student activism, the globalization of labor, and the financial collapse of 2008--documentary makers increasingly reconceived reality as the site of social conflict and saw their work as instrumental to struggles for justice. Examining a wide range of forms and media, including sound recording, narrative journalism, drawing, photography, film, and video, this book is a daring interdisciplinary study of documentary culture and practice from 1945 to the present. Essays by leading scholars across disciplines collectively explore the activist impulse of documentarians who not only record reality but also challenge their audiences to take part in reality's remaking.In addition to the editors, the volume's contributors include Michael Mark Cohen, Grace Elizabeth Hale, Matthew Frye Jacobson, Jonathan Kahana, Leigh Raiford, Rebecca M. Schreiber, Noah Tsika, Laura Wexler, and Daniel Worden. About the Author Sara Blair is the Patricia S. Yaeger Collegiate Professor of English at the University of Michigan.Joseph B. Entin is associate professor of English at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.Franny Nudelman is associate professor of English at Carleton University in Canada.
