AlbakiReads Editorial Female authorship, representation and the documentary image
Female authorship, representation and the documentary image
An academic collection examining how female authorship shapes contemporary documentary practice, both behind the camera and within the images documentary produces. The volume brings questions of representation, gaze and author theory into conversation with aesthetics, home, identity, globalisation and trauma, framing these concerns through female subjectivity. Alongside its theoretical and practice-oriented discussions, it includes a dialogue addressing the work of photographers Hannah Wilke and Jo Spence, plus an interview with Taiwanese documentary filmmakers Singing Chen and Wuna Wu. Positioned as a companion to Female Authorship and Documentary Strategies, the book concentrates specifically on the documentary image and the frameworks used to interpret it.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and scholars of documentary film and media studies
- Readers researching gender, authorship and visual representation
- Those interested in feminist approaches to photography and documentary practice

This book, like its twin volume Female Authorship and Documentary Strategies, centres on pressing issues in relation to female authorship in contemporary documentary practices. Addressing the politics of representation and authorship both behind and in front of the camera, a range of international scholars now expand the theoretical and practical framework informing the current scholarship on documentary cinema, which has so far neglected questions of gender.
Female Authorship and the Documentary Image engages with the relationship between female documentary filmmakers and the documentary image. With a thematic focus on the documentary image directly, within the more traditional arenas of theory and practice and especially within the context of gaze and author theory, the book also considers more philosophical questions of aesthetics, home and identity within the contexts of female subjectivity, globalisation and trauma. The book also includes a dialogue on two key photographers, Hannah Wilke and Jo Spence, as well as an interview with Taiwanese documentary filmmakers Singing Chen and Wuna Wu.
