• Resumen

  • What differentiates the documentary from fiction is its overwhelming desire to ¿represent¿ the historical world: its power of reference. However, the documentary, with all its discourse of sobriety, is also a construct of ¿reality¿, a construct which participates in that which Aristotle understood to be rhetoric: ornamentation, proof, argumentation and persuasion. Taking as a starting point the narrative voice of the documentary, ¿Joan March, the business of war¿ (TVC, 2004), the author deconstructs the discourse which at the same time attempts to distance the genre from the world of fairy tales as well as from the world of mathematical equations.
