The contributions examine the specific forms and modes of documentary representations and the role they played in the formation of new aesthetic trends during the cultural-political transition of the long 1960s. This documentary first-hand approach to the world aimed to break up unquestioned ideological structures and expose tabooed truths in order to engender much-needed social changes. New ways of depicting daily life, writing testimony or subjective reportage emerged that still shape cultural debates today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgements  List of Figures  Notes on Contributors    Introduction  Firsthand Time   Clemens Günther and Matthias Schwartz    Part 1: Exposing a Painful Past: Modes of Testimony  1 “Document of the Soul:” Varlam Shalamov’s Documentary Writing in a Contemporary Context   Franziska Thun-Hohenstein    2 A Dreyfus Affair for Soviet Children: on the Encoded Poetics of Aleksandra Brushtein’s Documentary Prose   Natasha Gordinsky    3 Supplementing Evidence: Danilo Kiš’s Poet(h)ics in the Context of Yugoslav Documentarism of the 1960s   Tatjana Petzer    4 Hands of Time and Large Numbers in Alexander Kluge’s (Post-)Documentary Literature   Gunther Martens    Part 2: Discovering the Self and the Other: Modes of Expressing Individuality  5 Celebration and Abstraction: the Documentary Mode of Jonas Mekas’s Diary Films   Christian Zehnder    6 Documentary and Poetics Interwoven: Mikhail Kalik’s Cinema   Elena Nekrasova    7 The Technique of Documenting: on the Early Reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński and Hanna Krall   Matthias Schwartz    Part 3: Refining the Senses: Modes of Self-Reflective Artistic Practices  8 “Dramas of the Fact:” Soviet Conceptualisations of Documentary Theatre in the 1960s   Anna Hodel    9 “Instead of Approximate Precision—Precise Approximation:” Ian Satunovskii’s Poor Poetry   Georg Witte    10 Reproductions without an Original: the Self-Published Aesthetics of Cold War-Era Copies   Sarah A.
