Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories : Migrations, Movies, Music
Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories: Migrations, Movies, Music is the first comprehensive study of Martin Scorsese’s prolific work as a documentary filmmaker.Highlighting the historiographic aims of the director’s various non-fiction film, video, and television productions, Mike Meneghetti re-examines Scorsese’s documentaries as resourceful audiovisual histories of migrations, movies, and popular music.Italianamerican’s critical immersion in the post-Sixties ethnic revival inaugurates Scorsese’s decades-long documentary project in 1974, and the era’s developing vernacular of reclamation would shape each of his subsequent non-fiction efforts.Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories surveys the succeeding films’ decisive adherence to this language of retrieval.With extended analyses of Italianamerican, American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince, The Last Waltz, Shine a Light, Feel Like Going Home, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Il mio viaggio in Italia, and A Letter to Elia among others, Meneghetti resituates Scorsese’s filmmaking within the wider contexts of documentary history and American culture.

Documentary in Dispute
The recreation of a landmark in 1930s documentary photography. Berenice Abbott's Changing New York (1939) is the career-defining book by one of modernism's most prominent photographers and a landmark in 1930s documentary photography.Published in 1939 by E. P. Dutton with support from the New Deal's Federal Art Project, the book presented ninety-seven photographs from Abbott's larger WPA-funded "Changing New York" project (1935-1939), with by captions credited to art critic Elizabeth McCausland.Yet, because of editorial changes by the publisher, the book that Abbott and McCausland actually planned, sequenced, and wrote remains unseen.As a consequence, their wholly unique theory of documentary, along with their radical program for conjoining change, history, experience, and photography-trained vision in New York City's built environment, have been lost.This book recreates Changing New York as it was originally envisioned by Abbott and McCausland, presenting their original selection of photographs and McCausland's original and published captions.

What is the lowest point of our society in relation to documentary reality TV shows?
The lowest point of our society in relation to documentary reality TV shows is the exploitation and manipulation of vulnerable individuals for entertainment purposes. These shows often sensationalize personal struggles, conflicts, and trauma for ratings, without considering the long-term impact on the participants' mental health and well-being. Additionally, the focus on creating drama and controversy can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and reinforce negative societal attitudes. Overall, the lowest point is when these shows prioritize profit and entertainment over the dignity and welfare of the individuals involved.
