The article discusses how the biographical is represented in the documentary Ole Bull (Aarhus 2006), a film about the world-famous Norwegian composer and violin virtuoso (1810‐80). It focuses on the biographical discourse ‐ that is, by what kind of stylistic devices his life story is told and the audio-visual strategies the film employs to make the past present.

Abstract:
In 2004, documentary theorist Michael Renov described ‘the recent turn to filmic autobiography’ as ‘the defining trend of “post-verite” documentary practice...’ In 2008 Renov went further still, suggesting that ‘the very idea of autobiography challenges/reinvents the VERY IDEA of documentary.’ Archive based autobiographical filmmaking, meanwhile, is even more problematic for documentary theory. Indeed, a number of recent documentaries, because of their status somewhere in the spectrum between biography and autobiography, have prompted the construction of an entirely new conceptual category, deploying archival film, often in the form of home movies, to document the lives of their human subjects in Renov’s formulation ‘shared textual authority’. In this article I examine one of ‘my’ own archive based documentaries, ‘Marilyn on Marilyn’ (BBC2 2001), as a way of asking questions not just about biographical and autobiographical documentary but also - and perhaps more urgently - about attributions of authorship in archive-based documentary.

Abstract:
Abstract The biography of Douglas Grant (c.1885–1951) has been publicly and popularly told in media since 1916. Interestingly, Grant’s unusual life-story has consistently been deployed to serve various political agendas. This essay examines the role of popular-media biographies of Douglas Grant and the emotions embedded in them, and utilises a documentary-film production as a case study to examine relations between these emotions, activist agendas and documentary-film storytelling. Additionally, given the consistent use of tragedy as a formal narrative structure employed in tellings of Douglas Grant’s story, this essay also describes how narrative structures are not culturally neutral, but are themselves emotionally suggestive cultural productions. Analysing a century of tellings of the Douglas Grant biography, this essay also offers insights into how conquest-colonial ideology is manifest in these often ‘tragic’ tales. As an attempt at decolonising scholarship, this essay also responds to insights by Indigenous commentators within the case-study text to reflect on Indigenous ontologies and the role of Country and Indigenous futurism as places/sites/histories of hope.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to compile an annotated list of films about or pertaining to the artist Andy Warhol. Design/methodology/approach – Films were located using library catalogs, databases and online searches. Selections were evaluated through inspection and both academic and popular film reviews. Inclusion was predicated not only on subject matter and merit but also on availability either on home media or online. Findings – Warhol’s many artistic creations can be introduced and evaluated using a combination of visual and auditory representation. Movies and television (TV) depicting Warhol through dramatization, primary source film, biographical documentary and his art in the context of other artists and movements are readily available through a variety of media. Originality/value – The selected titles provide a comprehensive introduction to the scholarly analysis of Warhol’s art and work through a format that allows the most extensive representation of Warhol’s artistic output.

Abstract:
Introduction: genre transformation in the Udmurt journalism of the end of the XX century is most clearly manifested in the biographical essays, based on real-life facts from the lives of famous representatives of the intelligentsia, natives of Udmurtia. The biographical essay in the Udmurt literature of this period demonstrates the presence of the elements of memoir, biography, elements of portrayal, problematic, biographical, social, historical essays as well as document / fact and fiction within the same work; the mental, intellectual principle is strengthened in it. The relevance of the article is due to the . fact that for the first time an attempt was made to consider the problems and poetics of the biographical essay in the work of Udmurt writers. Objective: to study the features of the biographical essay in the Udmurt social and political journalism at the end of the XX century; to describe the content and the formal components of the biographical essay, based on particular texts by Udmurt authors. Research materials: biographical essays of the Udmurt publicists M. A. Lyamin and S. A. Samsonov. Results and novelty of the research: the article is one of the first attempts of comprehensive analysis of the genre of the Udmurt biographical essay. The peculiarities of the modern Udmurt biographical essay are largely due to the desire of writers to convey the complex of the personality traits of their famous fellow countrymen – public figures, scientists, politicians, culture professionals. A biographical essay which combines «portrait-biography» and «portrait-characterization» as well as the parameters of a documentary story, a literary portrait and a historical biography testifies to the expansion of the aesthetic boundaries of Udmurt prose.

Full text
Abstract:
While much has been written on the Australian film and television industry, little has been presented by actual producers, filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion, synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful. The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. Within these two voices are three layers against which this history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form the vertical structure within which industry issues are discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’. Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has depended on government support through subsidy, funding mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and legislative provisions. This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding them with the determinants of the market and funding, and immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Abstract:
As a biographical documentary concept develops, its intention and its form are impacted and may be transformed by market demands. The documentary idea about the life of Xavier Herbert has been in development through a number of iterations within the shifting landscape of the Australian documentary industry from the mid- 1990s to 2009. This study is, on the one hand, an endeavour to find a workable way to express and practise the multi-layered complexity of creative work, a long-form documentary script on Herbert, an Australian literary icon. On the other hand, this thesis represents a cumulative research exercise, whereby my own experiences in the documentary industry in Queensland, Australia and overseas are analysed in an effort to enlighten the broader documentary community about such a complex, even labyrinthine, process.

No campo teórico da produção cinematográfica, a observação de construções biográficas ganha mais evidência com as constantes experiências da representação do eu e do outro que o cinema estimula. Documentários biográficos e autobiográficos tornam-se práticas frequentes pós-retomada do Cinema Brasileiro. Nessa lógica, cresce a necessidade de criação de procedimentos que possibilitam a identificação de diferentes manifestações de relatar a (própria) vida no cinema documentário contemporâneo. Em sintonia com a proposta do espaço biográfico (Arfuch) e de categorias encontradas tanto na escrita biográfica literária (Vilas Boas) quanto na narrativa cinematográfica (Puccini), nossa pesquisa centrou-se em proceder à análise e à delimitação dos procedimentos de relatos biográficos e autobiográficos relacionados ao documentário Santiago (2007), filme de João Moreira Salles. Procurando debruçar-nos sobre as possibilidades da construção biográfica presentes no desenvolvimento da narrativa fílmica, distinguiremos cinco modalidades da abordagem biográfica que possibilitam uma melhor compreensão da feitura do relato em Santiago: (1) Santiago como personagem biografada do filme que o diretor tentou montar em 1992; (2) Santiago como biógrafo, uma vez que incorpora interpretações pessoais à escrita sobre as personagens da nobreza; (3) Santiago como escritor de uma escrita de caráter íntimo e confessional, que tem como centro a expressão de sua intimidade e que pode ser lida como um diário; (4) João Moreira Salles como diretor biógrafo, durante o momento da construção da trajetória de Santiago e (5) João Moreira Salles como personagem autobiografada, ao pontuar suas lembranças de infância através do relato autobiográfico em primeira pessoa.
In theoretical field on filmmaking, the observation of biographical constructions get more evidence with the constant experience of representation of self and other which cinema stimulates. Biographical and autobiographical documentaries become common practice in the post-resumption of Brazilian cinema. Following this logic, grows the need to establish procedures that enable the identification of different manifestations to report on (own) life in contemporary documentary cinema. In line with the proposal of biographical space (Arfuch) and categories found in both literary biographical writing (Vilas Boas) as in film narrative (Puccini), our research focused on carrying out the analysis and the definition of the procedures of biographical and autobiographical accounts related to the documentary Santiago (2007), a João Moreira Salles film. Seeking to examine the possibilities of biographical construction present in the development of film narrative, we distinguish five modes of biographical approach that enables a better understanding of the making of the story in Santiago: (1) Santiago as biographee character in the film that the director tried to mount in 1992; (2) Santiago as biographer, as he incorporates personal interpretations to writing about the characters of the nobility; (3) Santiago as a writer of a confessional writing, which has at its center an expression of intimacy and that can be read like a diary; (4) João Moreira Salles as biographer director during the time of construction of Santiago´s path and (5) João Moreira Salles as autobiographee character, by pointing out his childhood memories through the autobiographical first-person account.

Abstract:
The documented legacy of South African architect Norman Musgrave Eaton (1902– 1966), as preserved at the University of Pretoria, provides the material for a contemporary analysis and extrapolation of his domestic oeuvre through the construction of a biographical-disciplinary context and chronology. Why and how Eaton’s domestic architecture expresses its lineage of forms, space, material, and detail are explored in this study. Eaton’s architectural oeuvre demonstrates a rare encounter between the Modern Movement and Africa. The residential architecture of Eaton, he being based in Pretoria, draws strongly on the African monumental past, while denoting both a regional and universal consciousness. Local influences are drawn from diverse sources: Cape Dutch architecture, Great Zimbabwe, Eastern Africa and the unselfconscious architectural endeavours of the Ndebele. Through the systematization of his records, the researcher is able to set up a biography within context in order to capture the critical moments in Eaton’s development and his designer’s mind. The chronological study of his domestic drawings further allows for the tracing of African and other influences in relation to his travels and their translation into architectural expression. Typological plan compositions and motifs emerge with clarity to aid in providing a critical appraisal of his domestic work.

Esta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre o processo de criação cinematográfico do filme ¨Cortina de bambu passada a limpo¨ (título provisório), projeto de documentário que visa abordar as elaborações e reelaborações de memórias de ex-internos da Colônia Padre Damião, instituição destinada ao tratamento de hanseníase, em Ubá, Minas Gerais. O título faz alusão ao bambuzal que isolava a Colônia do resto do mundo e que não podia ser transposto pelos internos. Nesta reflexão, nos centramos principalmente em aspectos relacionados à construção de identidades e nas potencialidades - e limites - do audiovisual como espaço da memória em ação.
This dissertation presents a reflection on the process of the cinematographic creation of the film "Bamboo wall revisited" (working title), a documentary project that seeks to address the memories and their reworkings of former inmates of Colony Padre Damião, institution that focused on the treatment of Hansen's disease ('leprosy') in Ubá, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The title alludes to the bamboo grove that isolated the colony from the rest of the world and could not be transposed by the inmates. In this reflection, we focus primarily on issues related to the construction of identities, and on the potential - and the limitations - of the audiovisual as a space for memory in action.

Abstract:
The tensions between ethical practice and aesthetic freedom in documentary film are particularly magnified in auto/biographical films that involve representations of family members or participants from a different cultural background to the artist, both contexts that demand a greater awareness of self and other. In this doctoral thesis I use 'auto/biographical' in its most expansive sense to signify the blurring of autobiographical stories with biographical material - the impossibility of telling the self's story without implicating others and vice-versa. Also accompanying this thesis is a booklet of poems, titles "Porous", which is held in the Victoria University Library. The related URL links to the catalogue entry for this booklet.

Hualien County was once recognized as the “Kingdom of Track and Field” as formerly, many outstanding athletes from Hualien performed extraordinarily in this arena, leaving their mark on Taiwanese sports history. However, these precious historical archives, documents, videos and photographs, that are well-worth collecting and preserving, have not been properly kept and archived. Moreover, this group of athletic elders are now in their golden years. It is of urgency that their life and times are properly recorded now so we do not lose our window of opportunity. The prime subject of this documentary is Mr. Shi-Shi Hsu, a local of Hualien County who has been involved with athletics all his life. It uses biographical records, collection of documents and face-to-face interviews, asking him to recount the history orally, to chronicle his life journey from being an athlete, to being a coach, and up to this day as an evergreen athletics representative. Apart from establishing a paragon for local athletics, he also uses the biographical documentary to talk about the mechanisms the government has in place to encourage and reward the training of competitive athletes and the support one receives for career transition. Additionally, it asks the relevant authorities to face the question of the rights and benefits of athletes head on. This thesis’body of research hopes to be able to take the lead in rousing the people of Taiwan to value the historical documentation and archiving of local athletes. Using the ease of technology, we are able to digitize historical data and preserve images. With this first step, the author hopes to get the ball rolling to spur other ambitious people to join in the ranks, to enable modern Taiwan’s sports history to become more complete.

Abstract:
The work confronts prosaic pieces with noticeable autobiographical features. It deals namely with works of Edgar Dutka, Eliška Vlasáková and Antonín Bajaja. It was not a coincidence to choose right these three Czech authors. They have quite a few features in common. They all belong to the same generation. They are born in the 40's of the 20th century, so they have spent an essential part of their lives (childhood, adolescence and substantial part of their working age) in the second half of the 20th century - in the time of political convulsions and social changes. A childhood spent during this period has become their common literary theme. They all make their memories a literary piece. Each of them does it in a different way and with a different amount of accuracy. Their inspiration comes from their real life, from their memories. The next common feature of these three authors is that they all wrote some of their texts without a vision to make them public. They wrote them for themselves. Book editions were carried out after the year 2000. Last but not least mutual fact is that all of these three authors have been nominated for a prestigious literary price. Edgar Dutka's works show the interdigitation of fictional worlds and also the diffusion of these worlds in the real life of the author. Eliška...

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter considers the representation of the straight girl and the queer guy within varying documentary media forms, considering the notions of social agency and performativity. Foregrounding both documentary theory and performance studies, the documentary biographical film drama Carrington (Christopher Hampton 1995, UK), offers a historical precedent in the representation of the straight girl and queer guy, all the while foregrounding notions of devotion and intensity. The context of the social actor is further examined in more recent documentary case studies such as Fag Hags: Women Who Love Gay Men (Justine Pimlott 2005, Canada), My Husband Is Gay (Benetta Adamson 2005, UK) and My Husband Is Not Gay (TLC 2015, US), framing the intense relationships between straight girls and queer guys – in many instances relating legal marriages and questioning issues of fidelity. Also the performative potential of reality television is explored in Would Like to Meet (BBC 2001, UK), Boy Meets Boy (Bravo 2003, US) and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Bravo 2003–7, US), through examining the confines and opportunity of television formats.

Abstract:
The article considers the correlation of documentary as a kind of fiction with folk works by L.N. Tolstoy. The biographical material shows how the writer creatively comprehends the key features of this genre: expresses the actual events, enriches the applied function of the document, captures in specific phenomena the socio-typical properties, aesthetically evaluates the depicted realities in historical perspective, reliably uses the facts, entiches poetic imagery with publicistic pathos, describes the wanderings of the characters.

Abstract:
Elaine May's documentary Mike Nichols: An American Master (2016) surveys Nichols' life and, in particular, work as a noted Hollywood director. The American Masters series, described on the PBS website as "an award-winning biography series", is designed to produce biographies of leading figures in American culture. May's contribution to the series is at first sight a conventional short form television documentary profile of an artist. However, it repays examination both as an example of May's artistry (the opening includes a signature sly moment, importing archival footage of a blustery Adolf Hitler to reference Nichols German Jewish background, reminding us of May and Nichols' shared heritage) and as a launching pad for dissecting the way May and Nichols' careers have become intertwined in fact and in Hollywood legend. I will frame the documentary's content by considering other May tributes to Nichols (such as speeches at the AFI Life Achievement Awards and at the Kennedy Center Honors) and her early comedy work with Nichols, as well as biographical background to material which is suggested or touched on in the documentary

Abstract:
Numerous literary biographies of famous authors were normally shaped by the quantity and the nature of the surviving primary documentary evidences such as diaries, letters, notes of constructions, and descriptions of the commentaries. These sources not only shaped the nature of the biographies but also the biographical method adopted. This chapter discusses the nature of the biographical evidence. It examines how biographers who regard their work primarily as an historical investigation can deal with the hard and immovable fact that the sources on which they necessarily rely are normally likely to provide an unrepresentative record of the patterns of the lived life.

Abstract:
Gogol’s legacy itself is the most important document of the era. It is precisely because of its importance that a sharp ideological struggle unfolded around Gogol’s works immediately after their publication. The struggle for Gogol’s legacy continued after his death, not only in criticism, but also in the memoirs dedicated to him. The article analyzes the apocryphal features in the memoirs of Gogol by S.T. Aksakov, P.V. Annenkov, A.T. Tarasenkov, in biographical works about Gogol by P.A. Kulish, V.I. Shenrok and others. Based on the study of the entire corpus of memoirs and testimonies about Gogol by his contemporaries, published in 2011–2013, and replenished in 2017–2018, a number of sources of lesser and dubious, in comparison with others, reliability are identified and characterized. All Gogol memoirists had, in one way or another, their own interest, which did not always coincide with the desire to convey the true appearance of the writer. However, in some cases, the subjective intentions of the author led to a distortion of the true appearance of the writer. Among such reasons, ideological preferences of memoirists belonging to various liberal opposition trends (Westernism, Slavophilism, Ukrainophilism, etc.), as well as the corporate interests of the medical class, are noted as the most important.

Abstract:
The article studies some aspects of the perception of Yevgeny Baratynsky’s work in post-war Germany on the example of Christoph Meckel’s novel A Message for Baratynsky. The creative interpretation of Baratynsky’s work in the novel by Meckel is based on the parallelism of the subjective autobiographical and documentary biographical layers of the narrative, which are connected by the leading motif of the poet’s loneliness in the society. The German writer considers the fate of Baratynsky as a historical confirmation of his pessimistic attitude toward the future of the post-war German generation.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the relationship between the genres of vita and autobiography in the 17th–18th centuries, when the genre of traditional vita increasingly faded into the past, giving way to literary biography. Despite this, the poetics of vita still had a serious influence on the structure of the new, secular literature, the “literature of fact”. The article analyzes the literary autobiography of M.P. Avramov, which was included in his “Petition” (1749), addressed to the Empress Elizabeth, in which the medieval poetics of the miraculous still occupied an important place in the spiritual biography of the hero. The numerous miracles described by Avramov in his “Confessions” give grounds to assert that this prominent figure of the Russian Enlightenment of Peter’s time combined the idea of devoted civil service to Peter I and the new Russian state with a commitment to traditional religious-conservative thinking, which was reflected in the genre and poetics of his autobiography.

Abstract:
Palme and Pääministeri can be considered exceptional films in their respective national contexts. Politics and public figures have not been a typical subject for contemporary feature films in Sweden or in Finland, although similar topics have thrived in Anglo-American media culture. Films like The Deal (UK, 2003), Looking for Fidel (USA, Brazil, 2004), The Queen (UK, France, Italy, 2006) and Margaret (UK, 2009) have depicted the political past and present by portraying the experiences or actions of known politicians in different generic modes, such as documentary dramas, documentaries and fictional biographical films. The film Palme differentiates itself in the Swedish context with its extremely controversial main character and sensitive topic. In Finland, as well, politicians have rarely been depicted in recent years. The documentary drama Pääministeri exemplifies such Finnish films. Although the docudramatic mode was not unprecedented in Finland, Pääministeri exemplified a new, international trend in television production by depicting a dramatised account of a living person and a relatively recent political incident.
