The publication gathers several essays that reflect about the documentary
in the scope of contemporary audiovisual production. Different authors propose to
think documentaries as an environment of productive thinking that in colaboration
with the main theoretical discourses have created several hybrid productions that
challenge contemporary epistemologic categories. Each article in its own way explores
the relationship between documentary essence and the different fields of culture:
antropologhy, politics participation, psicoanalysis, technology, semiology and discourse
theories, different aesthetic traditions that approaches visual arts, and cinema history,
These different perspectives help to build a particular vision about tradition, technique
and style of this particular way to see this world called documentary.
