Documentary Habitats Transmedia Ecologies

"What I find particularly compelling about this book is its balance between the marginalized human (e.g., Indigenous, Daoist, Asian and African diasporic, etc.) and nonhuman (e.g., plant, animal, machine) sources of knowledge and ethical standards. It concludes with a clarion call to embrace community and employ new technologies for the greater good. Its passion for transmedia in the service of progressive social change encourages readers to take the examples found in the book and employ them in their own critical practice as filmmakers, media artists, curators, educators, or community organizers."-Gina Marchetti, author of Women Filmmakers and the Visual Politics of Transnational China in the #MeToo Era

"Documentary Habitats completes decades of curation and research in collaborative Indigenous, activist, and community film and interactive media, unlearning fixed ideas and values, exposing the specificity of places and connections, and pursuing documentary's tangled polyphony towards a more-than-human future. Onward!"-Seán Cubitt, author of Good: Aesthetic Politics
