Description
Cartographic Cinema explores the relationship between maps and movies, revealing how both forms shape our understanding of space and identity. Eminent scholar Tom Conley examines the affinities between cartography and cinema through comparative theory and close analysis of films from various eras. Conley argues that most films contain maps or spatial signs that foster a critical relation with the prevailing narrative and mimetic registers of cinema. He demonstrates how watching films can be seen as a form of cartography, encouraging viewers to consider broader questions about space, being, and their place in the world. By investigating the role of maps in film, Conley sheds new light on the ways in which cinema reflects and shapes our understanding of the world around us.
