Performing the Documentary in Eastern Europe (Perdoc)

Projektleitung: Prof. Dr. Anja Tippner

The research group deals with forms of different documentary practices in Central Eastern European cultures, as well as theories of documentation originating from this area in the 20th and 21st century. The project’s main focus is to explore various forms of documentation (oral histories, documentary film, life-writing, witness accounts) in Central and Eastern European literature that deal with extraordinary (war, the Holocaust, system change) but also everyday experiences in this region. In discussing documentary practices the project will focus on the poetics as well as the ethics and politics of documenting.
