Re: [Frameworks] reflexivity and Dziga Vertov
John, thank you for that link. Is it possible that I quote from it ? I am a undergrad student at Bangor University, Wales. The paper is for an assignment for a class on documentary theory.Secondly, can I ask you how long did it take you to research and write your paper ? I am interested because I see that there is much original thought that carries the work.Thirdly, what is your new book ?

Re: [Frameworks] reflexivity and Dziga Vertov
Hi Jaime, You can find an interesting analysis/interpretation about Man with a Movie Camera in the first chapter/introduction of The Language of New Media by Lev Manovich. It's an archaeological media approach with a new point of view of Cinema History. Manovich uses Man with a Movie Camera as a starting point for his epistemology. Despite a systematically and a methodically approach (it's not my way of thinking), there's some great notes about the film, especially his reflexivity aspects. *Cf. The Language of New Media by Lev Manovich / Prologue: Vertov's Dataset. * Regards, 2014-11-24 19:26 GMT+01:00 Caryn Cline carynycl...@gmail.com: I don't have the book in hand, and it has been awhile since I read it, but I believe that there is also a useful discussion on Vertov and MWMC in Robert Stam's Reflexivity in Film and Literature: From Don Quixote to Jean-Luc Godard.

Re: [Frameworks] reflexivity and Dziga Vertov
Hi Jaime, and of course, please cite as you'd like! Your second question is tricky: I wrote this piece up for a guidebook to Russian cinema, but it was rejected (as too complex), so I just decided to get it up on the web anyway. It's the only piece on MWMC that seriously integrates archival material, to my knowledge, but touches on only some of the film's many aspects. To answer more directly, though: writing it took very little time, but I've been researching Vertov for over a decade. The new book (which I'm finishing now) is a critical biography that addresses all periods of his life and work, and Vertov reception as well; I've published a lot on Vertov already. Send on any other questions you might have, and good luck with the paper! Yours, John On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 3:15 PM, jaime cleeland ethnom...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: John, thank you for that link.
