Description
Taking Place: A fundamental relation between geographical location and the moving image is explored in this collection of essays. The book analyzes film, television, video, and installation art from diverse national and transnational contexts to rethink both the study of moving images and the theorization of place. Through its focus on actual places, Taking Place traces the tensions between the global and the local, the universal and the particular, that underlie contemporary debates on global cinema, television, art, and media. This volume brings together original essays from a range of contributors to offer a fresh perspective on these issues. By examining the relationship between place and the moving image, Taking Place provides a nuanced understanding of how geographical location grounds our experience of film and media.
