Description:
Documentary is fast changing: with the digital revolution and the
enormous increase in Internet usage, the range of information and
outlets for distribution continues to become more diverse. In this
context, are the traditional themes and frequently irreconcilable
critical positions of study still valid ? or are they changing, and
if so, how? In short, what are the issues for documentary studies
now?

The starting point of Issues in Contemporary Documentary is
that although documentary history cannot be ignored, the genre
needs to be understood as complex, multi-faceted, and influenced by
a range of different contexts. Jane Chapman brings to life the
challenges of contemporary documentary in an accessible way by
balancing theoretical discussion with use of cutting edge material
from Europe and North America and the developing world.

Whilst the need for critical appraisal of documentary is greater
than ever before, Chapman believes that future discourses are
likely to be shared between academics and specialist online
communities as viewers become makers, and both categories may also
become activists. Maintaining all parties can benefit from an
awareness of continuity and change, she predicts that activist
documentary will increasingly become a category to follow in the
future.

Each chapter contains recent international case studies, and the
content evolves thematically with definitions, representation,
objectivity, subjectivity, censorship, authorial voice,
reflexivity, and ethics as headings. This free standing, innovative
study can also be used in conjunction with Documentary in

Adorable!
Color: A White, Color: A White
I'm not sure what I saw in Mt mind's eye when I ordered this, but this was not it. HOWEVER, this little deer can't be more than 3.5 inches long and with it's over exaggerated antlers it actually makes the CUTEST little jewelry tree. As you can see I put studs thru the holes where the pairs are in symmetrical spots, but as my daughter said "it's kind of awkward that they aren't closer" But the studs I'll keep in place will be my least used, so it shouldn't be an issue. This little tree is made of very lightweight plastic which snapped together easily, but a big part of me hopes to someday find one a bit larger, made of ceramic. As my daughter said "it's by far the most creative one I've ever seen"

Not worth it
Color: A White
Cheap and flimsy, Fell over with my jewelry on it. Everything got tangled because eit wasn't spaced out. For anyone looking to buy it--dont. It may not be tall enough for your necklaces to dangle and not drag on the tray. However it is beautiful, would not buy again

Great for college!
Color: A White, Color: A White
I am not one to decorate my room, but this really helps put vibes in it. Unfortunately, you cannot put a lot on this, but it is still good to put your everyday jewelry on. I find that I can only put two necklaces on the antlers because anymore it would get tangled. Earrings can be a little tricky to put in depending on what type of backing it has rings and bracelets. I usually put at the bottom of the tray and I don’t have problems with that.

Effective & Attractive with Wireless Charging
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This "valet" organizer, which is the first time I've heard that term for a product like this, is nearly perfect. For me, it checks all of the boxes and in a perfect world, I would have opted for a smaller piece with only three compartments for mobile, wallet, and keys. It's well made and quite attractive, especially the blue (favorite color, so I'm biased). The only feature I'm not a fan of is how the removeable, wireless charging pad was implemented, which sits up on a small lip at a slight incline. However, I'm not complaining one bit as the wireless charging is great, and it's a differentiator that determines the value of the piece. I would have preferred the pad be built into the piece, however the angle of it does make it easy to grab opposed to using your finger(s) to pry it up.
