Documentary Realism in the Anthropocene

image of Documentary Realism in the Anthropocene

The Anthropocene marks an era in which the world as we know it is in the course of being radically altered and destabilized in ways that resist cognitive capture. That has led to a crisis of representation, with writers like Amitav Ghosh labeling realism as unfit to account for contemporary ecological realities. This chapter takes Ghosh's intervention as an entry point to explore the emergent strands of realism in eco-docs, with filmic examples and brief analyses that help elucidate how each operates and responds to the representational challenges posed by the new epoch.

Keywords: Anthropocene ; documentary ; eco-cinema ; haptic ; realism ; speculative
