Description
This volume reintroduces Peircean ideas within documentary studies. Taking from Peirce's semeiotic and parallel ideas within recent visual anthropology, it defends documentary practice as a vital form of human inquiry. Through the work of three renowned filmmakers - Jon Jost, Johan Van der Keuken, and Rithy Panh - this monograph attempts to reassert human agency within a global age, dominated by scepticism and an unquestioning subservience to mechanistic military techno-culture.
