This dissertation examines the transnational practice of "new documentary" in German-speaking Europe to challenge established notions of what is really "new" in the focus, form, and function of recent non-fiction media. Moreover, my project addresses a gap in the field of German studies, bypassing the oft-rehearsed canon of postwar cinema and the increasingly-tenuous concept of national cinema to examine a representative set of recent German, Swiss, and Austrian documentaries produced for a broader German-language media landscape, with a particular focus on Michael Brynntrup's NETC.ETERA (1999), Lutz Dammbeck's Das Meisterspiel (The Master's Game, 1997), Thomas Frickel's Deckname Dennis (Code Name Dennis, 1997), Birgit Hein's Baby I Will Make You Sweat (1994), Jan Peters' Dezember 1--31 (1999), Samir's Babylon II (1993), and Ulrich Seidl's Mit Verlust ist zu Rechnen (Losses Are Inevitable, 1992). Since the early 1990s, these filmmakers have been making a new type of variegated, entertaining, and subjective non-fiction film that I have termed the "New German Documentary." My analysis of their work elaborates four constitutive parameters of new documentary: the first, which I call the "personal imperative," describes the inter-personal dimension of the affective economy that structures and guides viewer identification in the new documentary. The second, which I term "ludic reflexivity," articulates the manner in which contemporary works of visual non fiction expose, play with and reflect on their own constructedness. The third distinguishing trait is the gesture of "epistemic hesitation," which designates how these films produce knowledge not by concealing, but by foregrounding their own uncertainty. The final parameter is the impulse towards "hybridity," which explores how new documentaries borrow formally, technologically, and institutionally from other areas of contemporary media practice. These four identifying traits provide the structure for this dissertation: each of four chapters elaborates the discursive function of one of these key features through close readings of representative new documentaries from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, stopping along the way to reflect on important cinematic precedents as well as the critical debates that have informed both their scholarly and popular reception.
