Aesthetical Territorialities in Documentary Film: Explorations & Dissidences

GIRES, the Global Institute for Research, Education and Scholarship dedicated to the support of academic pluralism, has the immense pleasure to welcome the insightful collective work from an exceptional team of international scholars. The leading editorial team, consisting of our very own Eduardo Rencurrell Díaz along with Pedro Hernández Herrera and Angel Pérez Velázquez, embrace the globally and scholarly oriented visions of the contributors and create a great book on the craft of documentary film. Diverse theoretical perspectives, philosophical, dramaturgical, hermeneutical, historical, gender and cultural, come together, aiming at a deeper understanding of this genre’s complexities. A wide spectrum of analytical tools will provide a window for academic development in film studies and criticism, resulting on insightful reflections about the representation of heritage, memory, gender, sexuality and ideology.
