Summary:From the expanse of the American great west to the mountainous landscapes of North Korea, Cinematic Countrysides draws on a range of genres to demonstrate how film texts come to prefigure expectations of rural social space and how these representations are shaped by the material circumstances of "lived" rural experience. For the first time, leading scholars in geography, film, and cultural studies have been drawn together to explore the multiple ways cinema and countryside are co-produced: how "film makes rural" and "rural makes film." At the heart of this volume?s apprehensions of the "cinematic countryside" is a concern that ideas of rurality in film are central to wider questions of "modernity" and "tradition," "self" and "other," "nationhood" and "globalization," and the "cinematic city."
