Description de l'ouvrage :
Explores the rise of animated documentary and non-fiction in the 21st century
• Examines the digitalisation and virtualisation of culture as the backdrop for the rise of contemporary animated documentaries
• Focuses on the techno-cultural setting and explores multiple areas of non-fiction
• Offers a wide view of visual culture case studies including film, art, journalism, gaming, scientific and data visualization

Confronting shifts in the status and aesthetics of the real, Nea Ehrlich analyses how contemporary technoculture has transformed the relationship of animation to documentary by mapping out two parallel trends: the increased use of animation within documentary or non-fiction contexts, and the increasingly pervasive use of non-photorealistic animation within digital media. As the virtual becomes another aspect of our contemporary mixed reality (physical and virtual), the book aims to understand how this visual paradigm shift influences viewers, both ethically and politically, and questions the wider ramifications of this transformation in non-fiction aesthetics.

Revue de Presse :
All in all, the book is recommended reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students who are looking for an updated overview of the status of animation and documentary (and the space in between) in contemporary Visual Culture. What is more, because of the strong interdisciplinary approach adopted, the book will be attractive to Media and Film scholars, as well as scholars within Game and Screen Studies, but also Computer Science.– Georgia Aitaki, Karlstad University, Visual Communication

In this fascinating and expertly-researched book, Nea Ehrlich positions animation as a key narrative mode in contemporary digital culture. Transgressing visual realism, animation as a practice of movement on screen is capable of moving us too, taking us into new cognitive and affective territories while showing us what truly matters.– Joanna Zylinska, Professor of New Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London, author of Nonhuman Photography

Animating Truth is a book about animated documentary ― and much else besides. Ehrlich’s is an important analysis of the relationship between animation and factual content in the so-called ‘post-truth’ era, taking in games, virtual and augmented realities, and the computerized and networked platforms on which we all now rely.– Paul Ward, Arts University Bournemouth
