Description de l'ouvrage :
The Imaginary Geography of Hollywood Cinema 1960–2000 combines digital cartography with close readings of representative films from 1960 to 2000. Christian B. Long offers a unique history of twentieth century Hollywood narrative cinema, one that is focused on the intersection of the geographies of narrative location, production, consumption, and taste in the era before the rise of digital cinema. Long redraws the boundaries of film history, both literally and figuratively, by cataloging films’ narrative locations on digital maps in order to illustrate where Hollywood actually locates its narratives over time.

Revue de Presse :
"The book sits well alongside other recent monographs of US cinema’s spatial politics. . . . Long brilliantly connects spatial content (and spatial politics) to wider shifting trends and industrial developments, revealing with clarity the tight interrelationship between dominant modes of filmmaking and the spaces that are being put on-screen. . . . He certainly succeeds in demonstrating that location is ‘an under-explored and powerful explanatory force’ shaping both the themes and the underlying ideologies of particular film texts and of the industry more generally. . . . This book does a great deal of useful work in rendering visible such absences and encouraging us to look for more."
European Journal of American Culture
"Long’s way of posing spatial questions about film is both stylistically and conceptually incisive. He puts his book’s research interest in a nutshell when asking ‘what – or better yet, exactly where – 'America' means in Hollywood cinema’ (p. 12, emphasis in original). In answering this question, The Imaginary Geography of Hollywood Cinema offers to expand the geographical horizon of what readers perceive as American film and as America on film."
