Description:
Film geography has emancipated itself as a cultural-geographic sub-discipline and has diversified thematically. In recent years, geography has seen a shift away from film and media as signifying practices or text and toward understanding representations as they relate to social practices, daily life and corporeality. Here, the emphasis is not on representational meaning, but on what representations do and how they do it. A high potential and key characteristic of film geography lies in its ability to focus on complex interconnections between cinematic and everyday life worlds. The field can be tackled best when theoretical and methodological approaches and perspectives are interdisciplinarily combined. Researchers consider screened content, location and place, reception and critical reflection, film as a tool and link them as interrelating spheres that can be creatively combined. The paper session aims to provide an overview of the diversity of film geography topics. We invite participants for this session dealing with any topic in the field of film geography. We are aiming to have in person and online sessions.
