multichannel environment has created a boom in TV documentary not seen since

AREA: Auteur Documentary Dabblers: Documentary Moments in the Films of
Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, and Others
Auteur filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, and
others have worked extensively in both fictional and documentary films.
However, most of the critical attention devoted to such filmmakers
has focused almost entirely on their fictional works. What are the
larger implications of this critical blind spot?

Panel Title: "Deadwood" and Emotion
Conference: Western American Literature Association, Boise, Idaho, October
25-28, 2006.
In keeping with the WLA conference theme, "Feeling Western," this panel will
examine the role of emotion in HBO's award-winning television western
"Deadwood." Although much has been said about the show's rough language,
violence, and its gritty and realistic portrayal of a frontier town and its
inhabitants, there has been little discussion thus far of its emotive and
even sentimental elements. The central question this panel will ask is: what
is the role of "feeling" and "feelings" in "Deadwood"?
