The Archive Effect
Baron J.
Routledge, 2014. — 224 p.
This title examines the problems of representation inherent in the appropriation of archival film and video footage for historical purposes. Baron analyses the way in which the meanings of archival documents are modified when placed in new texts and contexts, constructing the viewer's experience of and relationship to the past they portray. She covers a range of contemporary cultural artefacts including fiction films like 'Forrest Gump' and 'JFK', mockumentaries such as 'The Blair Witch Project', and videogames like 'Call of Duty'.
