Larke-Walsh 19. New (Old) Ontologies of Documentary, by Steve F. Anderson IndexReviewsAnderson and Milliken's book is no less than a groundbreaking study. Its exclusive focus on popular documentaries digs an alternative route next to the lane of popular fiction. -- Ohad Landesman, Tel Aviv University Milliken and Anderson's excellent volume on popular documentary is both a long time coming and absolutely rooted in this moment in the history of documentary media. The volume fills an almost shocking gap in scholarly writing on popular documentary-especially given the value documentary studies places on its connection with the political-and it does so as the stakes of shared knowledge of the world have never been higher. Together, the chapters in this volume compellingly explore a range of documentary media forms while always interrogating what the popular actually entails. -- Josh Malitsky, author of A Companion to Documentary Film History More and more often I encounter first-year students who arrive at college and tell me right away that they love documentaries-thanks, I believe, to the rising popularity of the form on streaming sites like Netflix. . . . They and many, many viewers are consuming just the kinds of popular documentary texts that this collection addresses. -- Jennifer Malkowski, author of Dying in Full Detail: Morality and Digital Documentary Author InformationChristie Milliken is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film at Brock University.
