Unlike its function in an atlas, a map in a movie often causes the spectator to entertain broader questions-not only about cinema but also of the nature of space and being. In addition, he demonstrates that spatial signs in film foster a critical relation with the prevailing narrative and mimetic registers of cinema.Ĭonley convincingly argues that the very act of watching films, and cinema itself, is actually a form of cartography. ![]() In doing so, Conley reveals that most of the movies we see contain maps of various kinds and almost invariably constitute a projective apparatus similar to cartography. In this groundbreaking work, eminent scholar Tom Conley establishes the ideological power of maps in classic, contemporary, and avant-garde cinema to shape the imaginary and mediated relations we hold with the world.Ĭartographic Cinema examines the affinities of maps and movies through comparative theory and close analysis of films from the silent era to the French New Wave to Hollywood blockbusters. Maps and movies tell their viewers where they are situated, what they are doing, and, to a strong degree, who they are. This kaleidoscopic approach demonstrates a rich plethora of ways for understanding the temporal modes of digital mapping and the interdisciplinary background of the authors allows multiple positions to be developed and contrasted.Cartography and cinema are what might be called locational machinery. Authors from different disciplinary positions consider how a temporal lens might focus attention on different aspects of digital mapping. Cases discussed range from locative art projects, OpenStreetMap mapping parties, sensory mapping, Google Street View, to visual mapping, smart city dashboards and crisis mapping. Each addresses a different type of digital mapping practice and analyses it in relation to temporality. The book consists of twelve chapters from experts in the field. ![]() This collection examines how these processes are impacted by digital cartographic technologies that, arguably, have disrupted our understanding of time as much as they have provided coherence. Maps often seek to ‘freeze’ and ‘fix’ the world, looking to represent, document or capture dynamic phenomena. This collection brings time back into the map, taking up Doreen Massey's critical concern for 'ongoing stories' in the world it asks how mapping enrols time into these narratives. Novel objects, forms, processes and approaches have emerged and pose new, pressing questions about the temporality of digital maps and contemporary mapping practices: in spite of its implicit spatiality, digital mapping is strongly grounded in time. "The digital era has brought about huge transformations in the map itself, which to date have been largely conceptualised in spatial terms. ![]()
