The New Record Movement In The Underlying Expression

Ever since 1990s, domestic subaltern problems have gradually come into public view with intensified social polarization. The reflection of subaltern state of existence and their demand is considered as a major feature of New Documentary Movement. How do documentaries, carrier of history, present the subaltern then? This thesis, with a close analysis and recurrence of New Documentary Movement works, finds the subaltern more a represented object than one with integral subjectivity. Still the subaltern are struggling to make themselves heard. However feeble or fragmented the voice may be. New Documentary Movement has successfully pushed the subaltern interest and demand into historic vision. Besides, this thesis also tries to illustrate the historical recording and democratic significance of subaltern representation as well as its current feasibility and trendency.
