Of the many ‘turns’ that have, with increasing regularity, come to define points of theoretical re-orientation in recent years, the ‘mobility turn’ has arguably been one of the most far-reaching and significant. As to what exactly ‘mobility’ refers to here I will elaborate further below. But it is important to stress at this juncture that it is within the theoretical framework of spatiality that these elaborative discursions are more specifically situated. In framing ideas of a ‘mobility turn’ in terms of the production of mobility (Cresswell 2001) my analysis is focused on the ways in which these are closely bound...

In Max Ophüls’sLetter from an Unknown Woman(1948), virtual travel by train in one key scene establishes a panoramicmise-en-scènein which the mobile gaze of film and its moving-image precursors is doubly alluded. Seated in a simulated train compartment, the film’s two main characters, Lisa Berndle (played by Joan Fontaine) and Stefan Brand (Louis Jourdan), are seated opposite each other beside a window, the curtains of which are pulled back either side of the ‘frame’ like a cinema screen. Outside the window, scenic backdrops – panoramic reproductions of Venetian and Alpine landscapes – pass by creating the impression...

In 2006 a musical comedy called ‘Brick Up the Mersey Tunnels’ was performed at Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre. The plot centres around a fictitious terrorist organization called the ‘Kingsway Three’ who decide to brick up the tunnels in response to the snobbish attitudes towards Liverpool and Liverpudlians they encounter among people from the other side of the Mersey. The play was inspired by a letter in theLiverpool Echofrom a woman in the Wirral who was complaining about the Liverpool accent, despite the fact that, like many from across the river, she actually worked in the city.¹ In a...

In a report published in January 2009, Liverpool was cited as one of the UK cities likely to be worst hit by the global economic recession. The city was ranked as the worst performer in the Social Deprivation Index of UK cities, with the lowest employment rate, highest level of benefit claimants and third highest rates of social inequality (after Manchester and Blackpool).² With the election of the Conservative-led coalition government in May 2010, and an austerity programme of massive cuts in public expenditure that is expected to result in the worst unemployment statistics for a generation, the city’s economic...

7Cinematic Cartography: Mapping the Archive City
Pages: 190-218
Liverpool is a place and a space made up of many different cities. This is reflected both geographically in the heterotopic composition of its urban landscapes, and in the way the city has been understood conceptually. Throughout this book Liverpool has variously been conceived of as a virtual city, reel city, disappearing city, real-and-imagined city, surreal city, generic city, centripetal city, centrifugal city and archive city. While each of these reflect the specific and overlapping configurations of time and space that have left their imprint on modern Liverpool, it is the last of these – the archive city – that...

读后感
用户评价
这本书给我带来的最大震撼，在于它将“通勤”和“边缘化”这两个概念在电影语境下进行了富有启发性的连接。在很多关于现代都市的叙事中，快速的交通工具往往被浪漫化为通往机遇的桥梁，但作者却犀利地指出，这种“流动性”恰恰掩盖了城市内部存在的深刻的排斥机制。那些被“快速通过”的区域，那些被排除在“中心”叙事之外的空间，是如何通过电影的镜头语言被边缘化，甚至被视觉性地“抹去”的？书中引用的案例，尤其是对一些小众或独立制作电影的分析，展示了那些尝试去捕捉“慢速”或“停滞”状态的镜头，它们如何在主流的“速度神话”中艰难地发出声音。这种对电影中“沉默的景观”的挖掘，让人眼前一亮。它不再是高谈阔论宏大叙事，而是深入到那些被忽略的角落，去倾听那些被高速文明所遗弃的声音。这本书无疑为理解城市中的权力结构提供了一个全新的、基于影像的分析工具。
这本书的书名是《Film, Mobility and Urban Space》，但作为一名热衷于城市发展和历史变迁的读者，我发现这本书的深度远远超出了我对一部探讨电影与城市空间关系的作品的最初想象。它不仅仅是罗列了不同时期电影中对城市景观的描绘，更像是一次跨学科的田野调查，将电影镜头视为一种独特的历史档案。书中对于早期默片时代，电影如何参与构建现代都市的“速度感”和“陌生化”体验的分析，尤其令人印象深刻。作者敏锐地捕捉到，当观众通过银幕观看那些快速移动的电车和拥挤的街道时，他们实际上正在被训练去接受一种全新的、以运动为中心的城市感知模式。这种理论框架，结合对具体影片场景的细致解码，使得我们重新审视了城市规划者和电影制作者之间那种微妙的、相互塑造的关系。我特别欣赏作者没有将电影简单地视为对既有空间的反映，而是将其视为一种积极的**能动者**，它在潜移默化中重塑了公众对“何为城市生活”的理解和期待。这种洞察力使得整本书的论述显得扎实而富有张力，绝非泛泛而谈的文化评论，而是具有坚实理论根基的社会学考察。
这本书的最后一部分，对于新媒体和移动技术如何进一步模糊“在场”与“缺席”的界限的讨论，尤其具有前瞻性。它不再局限于传统的胶片电影，而是将目光投向了社交媒体上的城市“打卡”现象、基于地理位置的服务（LBS）以及VR/AR技术对城市体验的介入。作者提出了一个发人深省的问题：当我们的城市体验越来越多地被中介化——通过屏幕、滤镜和算法推荐时，我们是否还拥有真正的、未被编码的“在场感”？这种对当代现象的捕捉和理论化，使得全书的讨论没有停留在对过去黄金时代的怀旧，而是扎实地立足于当下，并对未来趋势进行了审慎的推测。书中对“虚拟漫游”与“真实行走”之间张力的分析，极大地激发了我对未来城市形态的思考。它以一种近乎预言家的口吻，促使我们思考，在“流动的城市”中，身份认同将如何锚定，以及电影（广义上的影像文化）将如何继续扮演定义我们栖居之地的角色。
坦率地说，这本书在理论密度上是相当高的，但其价值恰恰在于它成功地架设了一条从复杂的理论（如德勒兹的“拟像”或鲍德里亚的空间理论）回到具体电影片段的桥梁。我个人最欣赏的是作者对“公共空间”概念的解构。在当代，随着技术的发展，许多传统意义上我们以为是“共享”的城市空间，实际上已经被各种监控、商业逻辑和数字界面所重塑。作者通过分析特定类型电影（比如赛博朋克或反乌托邦题材）中对未来城市形态的预演，探讨了电影如何预先警告我们，当物理空间和虚拟信息流发生碰撞时，城市居民的自由和主体性将如何受到侵蚀。读完后，我感觉自己看电影的姿势都变了——不再是单纯地享受故事，而是下意识地去审视场景中的空间关系，去辨别哪些空间是“可被观看的”，哪些又是“被设计来阻碍观看的”。这种“批判性观看”的培养，是这本书带给读者最宝贵的遗产。
从另一个角度来看，这本书的结构安排体现了一种精妙的叙事节奏，仿佛它本身就是一部精心剪辑的纪录片。它并没有采用那种平铺直叙的编年史体，而是围绕几个核心的理论支点进行螺旋上升的探讨，比如“凝视的政治”、“流动的异乡人”以及“空间作为记忆载体”。我最喜欢的是其中关于战后城市重建时期，电影如何处理空间碎片化和记忆断裂的主题。书中对比了几部不同国家对同一历史事件的影像记录，展示了在面对城市创伤时，电影是选择遗忘、重塑还是直面残骸。这种横向的比较分析，极大地拓宽了我对“城市叙事”内涵的理解。它让我意识到，一部电影场景的选择、运镜的角度，背后都蕴含着强大的意识形态力量。阅读过程中，我不断地被引导去反思自己日常在城市中穿行时的那种无意识行为——我们是否也被过去的影像所“预设”了观察世界的方式？这本书的语言风格是学术的，但其探讨的主题却是极其贴近我们日常生活的，处理得既严谨又充满人文关怀。
