Abstract

New Approaches to Cinematic Space aims to discuss the process of cre- ation of cinematic spaces through moving images and the subsequent in- terpretation of their purpose and meaning. Throughout 17 chapters, this edited collection will attempt to identify and interpret the formal strate- gies used by different filmmakers to depict real or imaginary places and turn them into abstract, conceptual spaces. The contributors to this vol- ume will specifically focus on a series of systems of representation that go beyond the mere visual reproduction of a given location to construct a network of meanings that ultimately shapes our spatial worldview.
