spelling How to Mediate RealityThinking Documentary Film with Horkheimer and AdornoSocial Sciences(all)Arts and Humanities(all)UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020 DL 57/2016/CP1453/CT0082In recent years, documentary formats have entered prominently into the realm of the culture industry, especially since Hollywood and Netflix started to invest in costly productions addressed to the mainstream. Many of these documentaries claim to show reality in its immediacy (“as it really is”), to reveal that which is obscured, or to critically assess societal evils. They use aesthetic strategies that reinforce the appearance of authenticity, while concealing the mediation of what they represent, and the authoritarian stances they presuppose. This turns them into powerful instruments for diffusing authoritarian and populist ideologies. Their political impact on society, their performative power of opinion-shaping, and their subliminal influence on how we perceive and understand reality call urgently for critical assessment. Horkheimer and Adorno’s critique of the culture industry, along with their philosophical, sociological, and aesthetic writings, provide a constructive starting point. This essay aims to mobilize their critical theory of society for the problematization of documentary films in terms of their dialectical relation to society.BrillInstituto de Filosofia da NOVA (IFILNOVA)RUNBaumann, Stefanie2025-04-10T16:10:34Z20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zbook partinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion18application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/182120eng978-90-04-44473-71573-4234PURE: 29024364https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004444744_017info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-04-28T01:33:29Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/182120Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T06:26:03.552484Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
