The very distinctions between the filmed, the filmer and the spectator are being dissolved. \u003ci\u003eThe Act of Documenting\u003c\/i\u003e addresses what this means for documentary's 21st century position as a genus in the “class” cinema; for its foundations as, primarily, a scientistic, eurocentric and patriarchal discourse; for its future in a world where assumptions of photographic image integrity cannot be sustained. Unpacked are distinctions between performance and performativy and between different levels of interaction, linearity and hypertextuality, engagement and impact, ethics and conditions of reception. Winston, Vanstone and Wang Chi explore and celebrate documentary's potentials in the digital age.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Winston\u003c\/b\u003e is the Lincoln Professor at the University of Lincoln, UK.
