Tracing continuities in digital and documentary practices, this book is a study of interactive documentary from the perspective of documentary culture. Exploring the dizzying array of new documentary forms that have emerged in the past ten years, the book is grounded in the analysis of multiple recent examples of digital documentary work, drawing out the key issues that the work raises.

These issues provide a starting point for theoretical reflection, with each chapter developing concepts and frameworks to facilitate thinking with and through interactive documentary. The book explores questions of polyvocality, participation, and political voice, as well as the sociality and performativity of digital documentary practice. By thinking deeply and critically about interactive documentary practice, the book charts the many and various ways in which interactive documentaries claim the real â" contingently, partially, or, in some cases, collectively. Each chapter draws on a range of examples â" from digital games to data visualisations, database documentaries to virtual reality â" demonstrating how we might engage with these âunstableâ digital texts.

The book will be particularly valuable for students and researchers keen to make connections between documentary and digital media scholarship.
