Full Description
This international collection provides readers with a range of perspectives through which to conceptualise and critically assess relationships between media industries and space.
From one direction, relations between media industries and space materialise in how the
activities of media production, circulation or presentation occupy space. This is visible in the
geographic spread of media companies, the use of particular locations as sites for production,
or the construction of a media-specific built environment of specialised facilities such as
studios, music venues, or cinemas. Equally, media industries play a generative role in
forming spaces. This is visible in the hosting of media festivals and other events in particular
places, creation of media-themed leisure attractions, and representations of actual locations in
media content which can have the addition effect of shaping certain locations as destinations
for touristic travel. Examining how media industries actively shape, and are shaped by,
attachments to space, the book therefore views how relationships between media industries
and space form across a range of dynamic interactions.
With their opening chapter, the editors review and consolidate insights from existing
studies addressing the spatial dimensions of media industries, which are otherwise scattered across a variety of publications. Reflecting on this body ofwork, the editors offer proposals for how these perspectives can be usefully integrated and employed for practically and critically interrogating the spatiality of media industries.
Spatial Dynamics of Media Industries will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and academics studying film, media or creative industries.
