Book Description
Engaging Film is a creative, interdisciplinary volume that explores the engagements among film, space, and identity and features a section on the use of films in the classroom as a critical pedagogical tool. Focusing on anti-essentialist themes in films and film production, this book examines how social and spatial identities are produced (or dissolved) in films and how mobility is used to create different experiences of time and space.

Engaging Film

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

Scholars of geography from England, the US, Wales, and Ireland take mobility as an example of a filmic representation that lies at the core of the engagement between geography and film. They investigate a shift in the underlying epistemologies of geographic inquiry into film, in which representations are seen not as object but as social relations. Annotation c.
