This book updates the critical, academic and cinematic panorama of documentary film through a set of recent investigations that address a complex, multiform and continually expanding audiovisual territory. Internationally renowned specialists, some of them published for the first time in our language, reflect in this volume on the cultural, aesthetic, political and ethical aspects that
characterize the exponential growth of contemporary documentary. The massification and development of digital technologies, film promotion policies, and new consumption of audiovisual content on different platforms are part of the current phenomenon of documentary renewal. From perspectives that combine innovative technical and historiographical approaches, this book is dedicated to studying problems that arise in the interactions between memory and history, poetics and gender, sexualities and new subjectivities, among others, in non-action films.
