The author examines how global challenges are reflected and represented in documentaries from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia after 2001.
As our world becomes more globalised, documentary film and television tell more cosmopolitan stories of the world's social, political, and cultural situation. Ib Bondebjerg examines how global challenges are reflected and represented in documentaries from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia after 2001.
The documentaries deal with the war on terror, the globalisation of politics, migration, the multicultural challenge, and climate change. Engaging with Reality is framed by theories of globalisation and delves into the development of a new global media culture. It also deals with theories of documentary genres and their social and cultural functions.
It discusses cosmopolitanism and the role and forms of documentary in a new digital and global media culture. It will be essential reading for those looking to better understand documentary and the new transnational approach to modern media culture.
