Frankham, Bettina Louise. “Complexity, Flux, and Webs of Connection.” A Poetic Approach to Documentary : Discomfort of Form, Rhetorical Strategies and Aesthetic Experience. (2013). 137-176
Here are three quotes that interested me from this reading:

•  “It is a shape that evokes the fragmentation of experience and can potentially accommodate distracted or absorbed modes of spectatorship” (Frankham, 2013)

 

• “the temporal ordering of elements is less important than the comparisons and associations the user is invited to make between the documentary’s elements” (Nash, 2012)

 

• “associational formal systems suggest ideas and expressive qualities by grouping images that may not have any immediate logical connection. But the very fact that the images and sounds are juxtaposed prods us to look for some connection – an association that binds them together.” (Bordwell and Thompson, 2008)
