- Documentary, Performance and Risk is a 90,000-word monograph bringing together extensive research into three major areas of scholarship: documentary theory and history; theories of performance and corporeality; and the multidisciplinary study of risk and uncertainty. This is marshalled in order to critically reappraise the field of US documentary production over the last twenty years, to be understood through the lens of its analytic framework, a significant scholarly undertaking. In addition, the work offers a set of exceptionally detailed analyses of landmark works of documentary film, with precise attention to the intersections of performance, risk heuristics and paratextual discourses.
