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

AUSTRALIA ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; THEORY ; FILM STUDY AND RESEARCH ; FILM STUDY AND RESEARCH. AUSTRALIA ; CRITICISM ; REALITY TV ; REALITY TV. 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." -- ABSTRACTNotes: 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 copyContents: -- 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 --

Is manipulation within the construct of reality television ethical? / Cheryl-Anne Whitlock Wollongong, NSW: University of Wollongong, 2012.
Call No: 461.25 WHIAuthor: Cheryl-Anne Whitlock CorpAuthor: University of Wollongong - School of Creative ArtsSource: ATPlace: Wollongong, NSWPublisher: University of WollongongPubDate: 2012PhysDes: xii, 297 leaves ; 30cmSubject: REALITY TV ; REALITY TV. AUSTRALIA ; BIG BROTHER [TV] ; 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.Notes: Thesis -- ring bound -- includes abstract - incudes table of contents -- includes bibliography -- includes list of abbreviations - includes appendecesLanguage: ENContents: Prologue -- Literature review -- Television in practice -- Methodology -- Results -- Case studies -- Discussion and conclusions

While scholars have researched audience responses to a wide range of reality shows, little research has been conducted on the participants themselves. My qualitative research study involving 15 semi-structed one-on-one interviews with reality TV participants addresses this gap, using these accounts to explore broader issues surrounding late modern identity and subjectivity" -- ABSTRACTNotes: Typescript; Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Melbourne, School of Culture and Communication, 2011; Includes bibliographical referencesContents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- chapter one: reality tv and our collective selves: a history and review of the literature -- chapter two: qualitative research and reflexivity: interviewing through an ethnographic gaze -- chapter three: 'there's no reality in reality tv': performing the real in a 'reality flavoured' universe -- chapter four: what about me? reality tv and the self-governed citizen -- chapter five: brand new world: reality tv and the branded human -- chapter six: reality is a bitch: expectations and disappointments in reality tv -- chapter seven: hijacking the branded self: reality tv and the politics of subversion -- conclusion -- appendix 1: the interviewees -- appendix 2: interview questions -- bibliography --
