TAILIEUCHUNG - Cities and Cinema

Cities and Cinema Films about cities abound. They provide fantasies for those who recognize their city and those for whom the city is a faraway dream or nightmare. How does cinema rework city planners’ hopes and city dwellers’ fears of modern urbanism? Can an analysis of city films answer some of the questions posed in urban studies? What kinds of vision for the future and images of the past do city films offer? What are the changes that city films have undergone? Cities and Cinema puts urban theory and cinema studies in dialogue. . | Cities and Cinema By Barbara Mennel 3 Routledge Taylor Francis Group Cities and Cinema Films about cities abound. They provide fantasies for those who recognize their city and those for whom the city is a faraway dream or nightmare. How does cinema rework city planners hopes and city dwellers fears of modern urbanism Can an analysis of city films answer some of the questions posed in urban studies What kinds of vision for the future and images of the past do city films offer What are the changes that city films have undergone Cities and Cinema puts urban theory and cinema studies in dialogue. The book s first section analyzes three important genres of city films that follow in historical sequence each associated with a particular city moving from the city film of the Weimar Republic to the film noir associated with Los Angeles and the image of Paris in the cinema of the French New Wave. The second section discusses socio-historical themes of urban studies beginning with the relationship of film industries and individual cities continuing with the portrayal of war-torn and divided cities and ending with the cinematic expression of utopia and dystopia in urban science fiction. The last section negotiates the question of identity and place in a global world moving from the portrayal of ghettos and barrios to the city as a setting for gay and lesbian desire to end with the representation of the global city in transnational cinematic practices. The book suggests that modernity links urbanism and cinema. It accounts for the significant changes that city film has undergone through processes of globalization during which the city has developed from an icon in national cinema to a privileged site for transnational cinematic practices. It is a key text for students and researchers of Film Studies Urban Studies and Cultural Studies. Barbara Mennel is an Assistant Professor of German Studies and Cinema Studies in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies and in the Film .
