Toward a Philosophy of the Documentarian

The theme of this book is
the documentarian
what
the documentarian
is and how we can understand it as a concept. Working from the premise that
the documentarian
is a special extended sign, the book develops a model of a quadruple sign structure for-and-of
the documentarian,
growing out of enduring traditions in philosophy, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and documentary theory. Dan Geva investigates the intellectual premise that allows
the documentarian
to 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.
