[Frameworks] reflexivity and Dziga Vertov

[jaime cleeland]

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 ?

 Self-reflexivity in Vertov is a very complex topic, not least in relation to the questions of how and when he ended up taking recourse to self-reflexivity, and why he never thematizes it in his manifesta and other theoretical writings. I've got a lot about this in my upcoming book on Vertov, but here's something that looks at the film and its reflexivity from a somewhat different angle:

''...the reflexive mode'' - that seems to apply to documentaries, and TMWAMC may not be a documentary but something else. Maybe something like an essay....

I’m not sure anything’s ever been written about DV/MWMC that didn’t address his/its reflexivity. Any source you consult will have something to say about it. Some recommended sources include:

This doesn’t mention TONS of scholarly essays on Vertov and MWMC. Lots to work with.JW

Hello,  I am writing an academic essay about 'Man with the Movie Camera' .  Any pointers on the reflexive mode within the film would be helpful.
