Essays on cinema, anthropology and documentary filmmaking
by David MacDougall
This new collection of essays presents the latest thoughts of one of the world's leading ethnographic filmmakers and writers on cinema. It will provide essential reading for students in cinema studies, filmmaking, and visual anthropology. The dozen wide-ranging essays give unique insights into the history of documentary, how films evoke space, time and physical sensations, and the intellectual and emotional links between filmmakers and their subjects. In an era of reality television, historical re-enactments, and designer packaging, MacDougall defends the principles that inspired the earliest practitioners of documentary cinema. He urges us to consider how the form can more accurately reflect the realities of our everyday lives. Building on his own practice in filmmaking, he argues that this means resisting the pressures for self-censorship and the inherent ethnocentrism of our own society and those we film.

The ArtsFebruary 2026Visual arts and medicine in early modern Europe and beyond
A collection of essays and sources
by Robert Brennan, Fabian Jonietz, Romana Sammern
This book opens up new perspectives on the relationship between art, medicine, and science in late-medieval and early modern Europe. Looking beyond the traditional nexus of art, anatomy, and optics, the volume sheds light on a broader array of connections between artists and physicians: collaborations between painters and doctors on colour charts, handwork skills common to sculptors and surgeons, the transmission of art theory through medical texts long before the emergence of art writing itself as an independent genre, and the kinship of medical diagnosis with early modes of connoisseurship. Reconfiguring the histories of art, medicine, and science, the book also traverses conventional boundaries between physical and mental health, religious and medical modes of healing, menial and exalted forms of knowledge and labour, as well as vernacular and scientific understandings of human difference, including gender, race, and neurodiversity.

January 1991Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum
Mit Materialien und einem Nachwort des Autors
by Böll, Heinrich
A young woman inadvertently becomes the centre of the sensationalism and political agitation of a boulevard newspaper. After falling in love with a young man who is wanted by police for “radicalism”, Katharina Blum’s life is made unbearable by journalists who scrutinize and make public every aspect of her private life. The consequence of this violation of her privacy by the media is the beginning of the story: Katharina Blum has shot a journalist and another photographer has been shot by an unknown woman. This is the shocking incident that cries for interpretation and clarification. The pattern of the street ballad of a woman’s lost honour is used here for its emancipatory and aggressive potential: The woman who has been humiliated in the public opinion fights back – if necessary with violence. Böll added in a preface: “Characters and storyline are a work of fiction. Should similarities to the journalistic methods of a certain boulevard newspaper be detected, these similarities are neither intended nor accidental but inevitable.” "Böll sustains a masterly and insidious tension to the end. He is detached, angry and totally in control" (The Times) "Such is the force of Böll’s conviction, the clarity of his vision and the icy economy of his unemotive prose that within this short space he has distilled a spirit that burns into the palate the unmistakeable and lasting tang of truth" (Sunday Times) "A marvel of compression and irony" (Sunday Telegraph)
