Doing Documentary, Becoming Subjects
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-3995-4650-8 (ISBN)
Doing Documentary, Becoming Subjects explores a range of contemporary nonfiction films, including autobiography, essay film and animated documentary, to understand how these films depict identities being constructed, altered and performed. By applying concepts such as performativity and Deleuze and Guattari’s metaphysics, this book aims to show how the self in documentary is in constant states of becoming at the same time as the films are themselves brought into existence.
Adam Vaughan is a Lecturer in the Department of Film and Media at Southampton Solent University. In addition to performance and documentary cinema, his research interests include queer cinema, diversity in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and critical explorations of identity in film. He has contributed chapters to edited collections about the film Call Me By Your Name, migration in 21st-century European documentary, contemporary LGBTQIA+ film portrayals and the historical biopics of Derek Jarman.
