The theme of this book isthe documentarian-whatthe documentarianis and how we can understand it as a concept. Working from the premise thatthe documentarianis a special-extended-sign, the book develops a model of a quadruple sign structure for-and-ofthe documentarian, growing out of enduring traditions in philosophy, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and documentary theory. Dan Geva investigates the intellectual premise that allowsthe documentarianto show itself as an extremely sophisticated, creative, and purposeful being-in-the-world-one that is both embedded in its own history and able to manifest itself throughout its entire documentary life project, as a stand-alone conceptual phase in the history of ideas. | Toward A Philosophy Of The Documentarian by Dan Geva, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
