It offers a systematic hermeneutical reading of thirty definitions of \u003cem\u003eDocumentary \u003c\/em\u003efrom 1960 to 1990—by then a familiar, already used, and “abused” dialectical object of thought and practice. The book progresses chronologically through three decades of ongoing efforts by documentarians, theorists, historians, and philosophers to define \u003cem\u003eDocumentary\u003c\/em\u003e, examining the philosophical foundations, ethical implications, and evolving \u003cem\u003edocumentarological \u003c\/em\u003esensibilities of these definitions. It also reassesses the intense ontological debates about \u003cem\u003eDocumentary\u003c\/em\u003e, highlighting the discourse's expanding definitional landscape. Building on the first volume, which examined thirty definitions from 1895 to 1959, this work weaves an intricate hermeneutical network of interconnections among all sixty definitions. It further anticipates the third volume, which will analyze forty additional definitions of \u003cem\u003eDocumentary \u003c\/em\u003efrom 1991 to the present, offering a comprehensive philosophical history of the evolution of \u003cem\u003eDocumentary \u003c\/em\u003eas both concept and practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eDan Geva\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003e is Professor of Film at Beit-Berl College, a research fellow at the University of Haifa, Israel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 July 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031899553\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e609\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334662549644,"sku":"9783031899553","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031899553.jpg?v=1781087301","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031899553","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
