Description

This book uniquely bridges the conceptual gap between the history of geographic, cartographic thought and film theory with the technological and cultural shifts that shaped the emergence of cameras and cinema. Adorned with illustrative figures, examples and case studies throughout, the book explores how cinema lends itself to cartography and, in turn, how cartography relates to both individual and collective experience of cinema. By using cartography to understand space and scale in film, the book moves away from textual analysis or the analysis of representation to focus on the locational attribution of the sites where the cinematic landscape is being produced. It contends that viewers of moving images are active players in a complex network of cultural and mental geographies. This volume is essential reading for students, scholars and academics of cinematography, human, cultural and social geography, cartography and media studies, as well as those with an interest in these areas more generally.
