On Saturday May 14th I'll be presenting some of my work-in-progress practice-based research at Ecstatic Truth, a symposium about animated documentary at the Royal College of Art. My paper, An Approach to Authenticity: Using stop-motion to evoke physical and psychological experience in animated documentary, will look at techniques that can be used to generate visceral, physical responses in audiences and how this can maintain an authentic link between a documentary's subject and audience in the absence of indexical material. I'll look at ideas of 'tactile territory' (Stehlíková, 2012) and 'the cinesthetic subject' (Sobchack, 2004) as well as techniques used in genres that traditionally measure success by an audiences' physical engagement - horror, melodrama and pornography (Williams, 1991).
