(2018) Toward a philosophy of the documentarian, Dordrecht, Springer.
The introductory chapter steadfastly endeavors to clarify the epistemic motives, methodical means, linguistic logic, and metaphysical presuppositions that concern my attempt to develop for the documentarian a philosophical project that, while basing its raison d"être on the archeology of 123 years of historical documentarianship, recognizes the urgency of moving on and developing new, semiotic and philosophical grounds. I introduce the distinctive functions of the four key disciplines that motivate, afford, and help conduct the book's line of interrogation: philosophy, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and documentary theory. Each discipline (or subfield) receives a special explanatory treatment that elucidates the discipline's distinctive presence in and explanatory relevance to the book.
