Encountering the World with I-Docs: Interactive Documentary as a Research Method

di Ella Harris (Autore)

Bristol University Press, 2025

Interactive documentaries, or i-docs, are web based, multimedia documentaries that immerse audiences through dynamic, interactive platforms. This book unlocks the value of i-docs as a creative research method, providing an engaging guide on how to use i-docs to examine and communicate research subjects. With examples, conceptual discussion, and practical advice, the book explores how i-docs can illuminate topics including temporalities, power and space, affect and feeling, freedom, and epistemic justice. The book addresses i-docs as a digital form but also shows that even just planning an i-doc on paper can open up new analytical perspectives. Key features of the book include: - An easy to use template for planning your own i-doc; - Advice on how researchers can ‘think with i-docs’ without even producing one; - Discussion of methodological work with i-docs including participatory i-doc making; Insights into a range of examples of commercial, activist and research i-docs from around the world. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, community researchers, creatives and activists who want to enlist and ignite the possibilities of i-docs.
