Abstract:
This work explores the ethical and moral limits of practicing realism in immersive nonfiction. To establish these practices, the nonfiction media ecosystem is analyzed from traditional to emerging immersive forms. Four significant forms of nonfiction works are discussed that reflect different ethics of realism: documentary, journalism, education, and cultural heritage. Through the description and presentation of each form, a provisional set of elements, variables, indicators and parameters that impact practices and ethics of realism are presented. These compositional elements can be implemente

The release of Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzman's La Cordillera de los Sueños (Cordillera of Dreams) prompts FQ columnist Manuel Betancourt to reflect upon the reflexive turn in recent nonfiction documentaries from Latin America. Betancourt suggests that Guzmán pioneered the wave of documentary filmmakers in the region whose work marries first-person address with political urgency.

Abstract:
Many readers look to comics and cartoons for entertainment, but they can also inform, as well as inspire, controversy and even acts of political violence, as the Jyllands-Posten and Charlie Hebdo cases demonstrate. Indeed, politics and comics connect and overlap in all sorts of ways. This review essay explores the nexus of politics and comics at a time when a growing number of cartoonists are creating extended works of graphic nonfiction that address serious political and historical themes.

Since most historians agree that the Great Depression was a watershed event in twentieth century America, Denise Ousley believes “an in-depth exploration of the unsteady political and economic climate, cultural traditions, and diverse experiences of this defining era would do our students a great service.” Therefore, in this article, she makes “the case for presenting—for celebrating—the nonfiction of the Depression in the English classroom.” More specifically, Ousley thinks that “one of the most productive ways to explore Depression-era history is to read the works of the people who were in t

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe, situate and justify the use of creative nonfiction as an overlooked but legitimate source of text for use in social inquiry, specifically within the ambit of narrative inquiry. What potential lies in using creative writing, creative nonfiction specifically, as a source of text in social research? How may it be subjected to modes of analysis such that it deepens understandings of substantive issues?

Abstract This article explores Abdulrahman Munif’s nonfiction Arabic writings on American oil relations in the Middle East. It begins by outlining his historiography of the US oil presence and its periodization from the start of the 20th century to the early 1970s. It then focuses on his analysis of contemporaneous developments during the 1970s, a period which he saw as historically defining in realigning global relations. The article argues that he employs a unique historiographical approach, one that draws on Marxist, dependency theory, and Arab Nationalist influences. In particular, it embo

Abstract:
The assassination of John F. Kennedy is known as the “murder of the century” and is firmly embedded not only in political and media discourse, but also in fiction, nonfiction and cinema. Literary nonfiction discourse is characterized by a special “hybrid nature”, which combines factography, on the one hand, and a high degree of emotional impact, on the other. In this regard, the authors of literary nonfiction texts often develop a special set of linguistic means that allow them to influence the recipient in the absence of an opportunity to turn to the aesthetic potential of artistic fiction.
