Screening Spaces
Series Editor Pamela Robertson Wojcik Department of Film, Television, and Theatre University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, Indiana, USA
Aims of the Series This series engages the interdisciplinary field of space studies with particular emphasis on cinematic and televisual representations of space and place. This series emphasizes the way in which space and culture are mutually imbricated and mutually productive. Books in this series will be interested in the ways in which the meaning of space and place are fought over in the realm of cultural politics and, equally, in the ways identity construction and negotiation occur in and through space. Cinematic texts will be seen as not merely emerging from or reflecting a space, but as producing and shaping that space. Thus, works in the series will not just discuss how a space or place is represented on screen, but how particular modes of representation and particular spaces or places work together to produce, reflect, and refract a culture. Issues of identity–including an interest in gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, and regional identities–will be taken up as key elements in understanding cinematic renderings of space and place. Spaces and places under consideration might range from relatively large spaces, such as a city or region, the rural or the suburbs, to more narrow places, such as the home, the office, the gym, the bathroom, the church, and more. This series will be especially interested in interior spaces such as the office, the library, the toilet, the store; spaces claimed by particular groups, such as children’s spaces, gay spaces, African American spaces, women’s spaces; and spaces that reconfigure public space such as memorials, public art, parks, and streets.
