The New Documentarian(Tuesdays, 6-7:50 PM, starts Jan 22)
The New School
This course takes a broad and rigorous survey of nonfiction/documentary media and movements--radio documentary, literary journalism, documentary film, photojournalism, oral history--and focuses on the art of nonfiction storytelling. We examine varied, often experimental, approaches to documentary work, uncovering the narrative possibilities that lie within each story. Consideration is given to burgeoning forms such as the graphic novel and the monologue. Students are challenged to develop and analyze stories and to test their narratives by transposing them from one medium to another. Authors and artists studied include Joan Didion, Agnes Varda, Stetson Kennedy, Errol Morris, and Mary Ellen Mark. (3 credits)
