Cont. Documentary and Global Crises

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Contemporary Documentary and Global Crises
Leerdoelen
Omschrijving	A century ago, in the context of a crisis of democracy and international solidarity a new mode of audiovisual representation of the Real emerged which we now refer to as ‘Documentary’. It aimed at the empowerment of citizens by providing it with not only factual information but also orientation and means of reflection. In what ways does current documentary relate to the interrelated global crises of the 21st century? From the Covid-19 crisis, to environmental crises, global refugee crises, the current crisis of democracy and financial crises? The transition to 2.0 has opened up new possibilities for documentary makers to expand their mission by building communities and participation, but (how) does that affect our comprehension of the origins and consequences of these crises? Can documentary not only in theory but also in practice contribute to a (radical) reorganization of the public sphere? What are its counterforces and which the different voices so crucial for a (re)formulation of a new contemporary humanitarian project? We will address these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective and in dialogue with documentary practitioners.
