Summary:
Rethinking the significance of films including "Pillow Talk," "Rear Window," and "The Seven Year Itch," Pamela Robertson Wojcik examines the popularity of the "apartment plot," her term for stories in which the apartment functions as a central narrative device. From the baby boom years into the 1970s, the apartment plot was not only key to films; it also surfaced in TV shows, Broadway plays, literature, and comic strips, from "The Honeymooners" and" The Mary Tyler Moore Show "to" Subways are for Sleeping "and" Apartment 3-G." By identifying the apartment plot as a film genre, Wojcik reveals affinities between movies generally viewed as belonging to such distinct genres as film noir, romantic comedy, and melodrama. She analyzes the apartment plot as part of a mid-twentieth-century urban discourse, showing how it offers a vision of home centered on values of community, visibility, contact, mobility, impermanence, and porousness that contrasts with views of home as private, stable, and family-based.

Summary:
Dystopic imagery has figured prominently in modern depictions of the urban landscape. The city is often portrayed as a terrifying world of darkness, crisis, and catastrophe. Noir Urbanisms traces the history of the modern city through its critical representations in art, cinema, print journalism, literature, sociology, and architecture. It focuses on visual forms of dystopic representation--because the history of the modern city is inseparable from the production and circulation of images--and examines their strengths and limits as urban criticism. Contributors explore dystopic images of the modern city in Germany, Mexico, Japan, India, South Africa, China, and the United States. Their topics include Weimar representations of urban dystopia in Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis; 1960s modernist architecture in Mexico City; Hollywood film noir of the 1940s and 1950s; the recurring fictional destruction of Tokyo in postwar Japan's sci-fi doom culture; the urban fringe in Bombay cinema; fictional explorations of urban dystopia in postapartheid Johannesburg; and Delhi's out-of-control and media-saturated urbanism in the 1980s and 1990s. What emerges in Noir Urbanisms is the unsettling and disorienting alchemy between dark representations and the modern urban experience.

Summary:
In the tradition of "Paris, Texas" and "Faraway, So Close", the texts and pictures in this publication weave ambiguous and moving narratives in fits of rhythmic prose and inventive imagery. Prefaced by Wenders' poetic meditations on the metaphysics of photography and film, the book consists of short, autobiographical sketches relating Wenders' experiences — both meaningful and apparently trivial — on his trips across the world scouting locations for his films, as well as photographs taken during these excursions. The result is at once travel diary, photo album, and a series of short films or short stories — revealing the views and sentiments of an auteur inspired by the poetry of the eye and the melody of speech.

Les œuvres de création et en particulier le cinéma de fiction présentent un imaginaire, une vision de l’espace habité et habitable. L’imaginaire de l’espace dans le cinéma québécois est ici exploré dans un itinéraire partant des espaces habités (la ville, la banlieue et la campagne), pour aboutir aux espaces identitaires en passant par les espaces de déplacement et de circulation, la place publique et l’espace public.
