Eisenstein, 1925); REALISM ON TV; REALITY TV; RACIAL ISSUES ON TV; RACIAL ISSUES AND TV; TRUTH IN FILMS; VIOLENCE ON TV; WAR AND THE CINEMA; GULF WAR ON TV; ETHICS AND TV Summary: "Blurred Boundaries explores decisive moments where the traditional boundaries of fiction/non-fiction and truth/falsehood blur. Nichols argues that the history of social representation in film, television, and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response, and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred Boundaries radically alters the interpretative frameworks offered by neoformalism and psychoanalysis: Comprehension itself becomes a social act of transformative understanding rather than an abstract mental process, while the use of psychoanalytic terms like desire, lack, or paranoia to make social points metaphorically yields to vocabulary designed expressly for historical interpretation - such as project, intentionality, and the social imaginary. An important departure from prevailing trends in many fields, Blurred Boundaries offers new directions for the study of visual culture." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-182) and index ISBN: 0253340640 (alk. paper); 0253209005 (paper : alk. paper) LON: 10767942 More info

Examining the complex dynamics of convergence and divergence among the audio-visual media, the authors are realistic in their estimate of the future of the cinema's aesthetic identity, and robustly optimistic that the different social needs audiences bring to the public and domestic media will ensure their distinctiveness, as well as the necessary openness of cultural meaning and creative input" -- Blurb Notes: Includes bibliographical references, notes and index ISBN: 9053563121 Donation: Adrien Miles Contents: 1.

Emotion shapes how political issues and individuals are represented and perceived in documentary and it is crucial to how we engage with the vicissitudes of the public sphere. In the past documentary has been popularly perceived in ways that align it with education, science, history and the rational realm. This frame has never been adequate for understanding the broad array of styles and themes that can be seen in the documentary genre. Focusing on the question of subjectivity, Smail analyses various different kinds of individuals that can be found in documentaries, such as the female porn star, the politically disenfranchised, children, and the documentary auteur. She envisages an interdisciplinary approach to documentary drawing on scholarship from not only film studies, but also gender studies, queer theory, cultural theories of affect, critical race studies, political theory and pyschoanalysis.

Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film. In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies. -- BOOK BLURB ISBN: 9781844573417 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Foreword: Why Documentaries Matter -- Introduction: The Filmed Documentary --; PART I: DOCUMENTARY VALUES -- The Question of Evidence, the Power of Rhetoric and Documentary Film: Bill Nichols -- 'I'll Believe It When I Trust the Source': Documentary Images and Visual Evidence: Carl Plantinga -- 'The Performance Documentary': The Performing Film-Maker, the Acting Subject: Stella Bruzzi -- On Truth, Objectivity and Partisanship: The Case of Michael Moore: Douglas Kellner -- CGI and the End of Photography as Evidence: Taylor Downing -- Drawn From Life: The Animated Documentary: Andy Glynne -- Dramadoc?

book		Documentary practice in a participatory culture / by Patrick Anthony Tarrant Queensland: 2008.

AUSTRALIA; HUBBUB (AT, Patrick Tarrant, 2007); ONE MORE LIKE THAT (AT, Patrick Tarrant, 2007) Summary: " Debates concerning the veracity, ethics and politics of the documentary form circle endlessly around the function of those who participate in it, and the meaning attributed to their participation. Great significance is attached to the way that documentary filmmakers do or do not participate in the world they seek to represent, just as great significance is attached to those subjects whose participation extends beyond playing the part of eyewitness or expert, such that they become part of the filmmaking process itself. This Ph.D explores the interface between documentary practice and participatory culture by looking at how their practices, discursive fields and histories intersect, but also by looking at how participating in one might mean participating in the other. In short, the research is an examination of participatory culture through the lens of documentary practice and documentary criticism. In the process, however, this examination of participatory culture will in turn shed light on documentary thinking, especially the meaning and function of 'the participant' in contemporary documentary practice." -- ABSTRACT Notes: Presented to the Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology; Thesis (Ph.D.)--Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, 2008; Includes bibliographical references (p. 151-157); Note the published version contains 1 videodisc (4 3/4 in.), but this is not included with our copy Contents: -- keywords -- abstract -- table of contents -- list of figures -- supplementary material -- copyright -- statement of original authorship -- acknowledgments -- chapter 1: introduction -- chapter 2: participatory cultures & documentary practices -- chapter 3: camera movies (awesome, I fuckin' shot them!) -- chapter 4: finding, filming and documenting (the articulate archive) -- chapter 5: conclusion (the thesis film) -- appendix 1: interview questions used for hubbub -- appendix 2: instructions for the dvd -- works cited -- filmography -- More info

This edited collection, from a range of international scholars, argues that the franchise is now an integral element of American media culture. As such, the collection explores the production, distribution and marketing of franchises as a historical form of media-making – analysing the complex industrial practice of managing franchises across interconnected online platforms. Examining how traditional media incumbents like studios and networks have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector (such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google), the authors take a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781474477741 Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements – Foreword / Derek Johnson -- Introduction: The Franchise Era / James Fleury, Bryan Hikari Hartzheim, and Stephen Mamber PART I THE FRANCHISE: DEFINING AND HISTORICIZING -- The (Im)Perfect Organism: Dissecting the Alien Media Franchise / James Fleury and Stephen Mamber -- Evil Spawn or Good Business?

book		Is manipulation within the construct of reality television ethical? / Cheryl-Anne Whitlock Wollongong, NSW: University of Wollongong, 2012. Call No: 461.25 WHI Author: Cheryl-Anne Whitlock CorpAuthor: University of Wollongong - School of Creative Arts Source: AT Place: Wollongong, NSW Publisher: University of Wollongong PubDate: 2012 PhysDes: xii, 297 leaves ; 30cm Subject: REALITY TV; REALITY TV. AUSTRALIA; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-); BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-); BIG BROTHER UNCUT [TV] (AT, 2001-); AUSTRALIAN IDOL [TV] (AT, 2003-) Summary: "The main purpose of the thesis is to determine to what extent duty of care is extended to reality television participants, to what extent elements of reality television programming are manipulated and whether those manipulations are ethical. Program participants are encouraged to be their ‘real’ and authentic selves, yet reality programming itself is often so extensively manipulated that the genre renders its own output inauthentic, thus compromising participants’ contributions and casting their performance in the same false light. Despite this, reality television continues to be promoted and marketed as representative of the real, despite evidence to the contrary and accusations that the generic term is a falsehood. This research employed a methodology combining textual analysis with a mixed method study. Input was sought from scholars and psychologists from the United States of America (US), Australia and the United Kingdom (UK). The research revealed that almost every stakeholder in the genre manipulated other stakeholders in a cannibalistic and parasitic business model. It was found that some manipulations were considered necessary, while others were even deemed ethical when situated in Kantian moral philosophy. Some manipulations were considered blatantly unethical when viewed through the same prism in the context of stakeholders using others to serve their own ends. It was also found that a range of important production processes were not standardised and this lack of standardisation allowed for the use of duplicitous production methods. The research process also uncovered that between 1994 and 2011, 20 former reality television participants reportedly committed suicide following their contribution to a reality program. The psychological effects of participation in this programming has not been measured in any meaningful way and there is a considerable push from consulting psychologists to monitor participants for a year following their filmed participation to study the psychological effects of taking part." -- FROM THESIS ABSTRACT.

AUSTRALIA; DOCUMENTARIES; GAMES SHOWS; PROGRAMME GENRES; OSBOURNES, THE [TV] (US, 2002-); WOMEN AND TV; VIOLENCE ON TV; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-) Summary: Beginning by unearthing its historical roots in early reality shows like Candid Camera and wending its way through An American Family, Cops and The Real World to the most recent crop of reality programs, Reality TV is the first book to address the economic, visual, cultural, and audience dimensions of reality television. The essays provide a complex and comprehensive picture of how and why this genre emerged, what it means, how it differs from earlier television programming, and how it engages societies, industries, and individuals. Topics range from the construction of televisual “reality” to the hanging face of criminal violence on TV, to issues of surveillance, taste, and social control. By spanning reality television’s origins in the late 1940s to its current overwhelming popularity, Reality TV demonstrates both the tenacity of the format and its enduring ability to speak to our changing political and social desires and anxieties.

However, concentrating on this genre has tended to sideline the even more significant emergence of the program format as a central mode of business and culture in the new television landscape. TV Formats Worldwide redresses this balance, and heralds the emergence of an important, exciting and challenging area of television studies. Topics explored include reality TV, makeover programs, sitcoms, talent shows and fiction serials, as well as broadcaster management policies, production decision chains and audience participation processes. The seminal work will be of considerable interest to media scholars internationally." -- Back cover Notes: Includes biblographic references and index ISBN: 9781841503066 Contents: Introduction: 'Descent and modification' / Albert Moran -- Rethinking the local-global nexus through multiple modernities : the case of Arab reality television / Marwan M.

Interim book		Upping the ante : Survivor and Big Brother and the televisual triumph of the reality game show / Sophie Alexiadis Melbourne: 2004. Call No: 76:759.5 ALE Author: Sophie Alexiadis Place: Melbourne PubDate: 2004 PhysDes: 185 p ; 30 cm Subject: REALITY SHOWS, TV. AUSTRALIA; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-); GAMES SHOWS; GAMES SHOWS. AUSTRALIA; PROGRAMME GENRES; AESTHETICS Summary: This thesis conducts a formal analysis of the ways in which phenomenal television successes Survivor and Big Brother are situated in histories of dcumentary, reality television and game shows; and how they may indicate a broader change in television production aesthetics and viewing practices for the new millenium. Historically, the reality game shows Survivor and Big Brother can be seen as belonging to and perpetuating a form which commenced with the first television broadcasts: the game show genre. Yet, with hybridized formats incorporating elements of news, soap opera, talk shows or fly-on-the-wall documentaries, these recent shows exploit the latest television technology. How shows such as Survivor and Big Brother expand or subvert the game show genre is, therefore, central to this thesis. [Taken from thesis summary]. Notes: RMIT masters thesis More info
