Summary/Abstract: The article examines the ramifications of documentary discourse. The approach is formulated to give a voice to interdisciplinary research on documentary. The emphasis on the close analysis of extracts and larger documentary entities will bring a new level to this meeting of various aspirations. It gives the possibility to create a heightened sensitivity of matters of analysis that covers similarities and differences, as well as causal and empirical reflections. The aim is to create a web of associations for these perspectives and perceive a wider approach on documentary in order to argue that the meaningful appropriation of various tendencies in documentary studies requires sufficient correspondence and dialogical proneness for an understanding of the conceptual, formal and aesthetic legitimacy of this phenomenon.
