Abstract

Young people imagine, perceive, experience, talk about, use, and produce space in a wide variety of ways. In doing so, they acquire and produce stocks of spatial knowledge. A quite dynamic and ever-changing process by nature, young people's production and acquisition of spatial knowledge are susceptible to many kinds of conditions--from those that shape their everyday routines to those that constitute historical turning points. Against this backdrop and drawing on a qualitative metaanalysis, the authors set out to discover what changes the spatial knowledge of young people has undergone during the past five decades. To that end, sixty published studies were sampled, analyzed, and synthesized to offer a meta-interpretation in terms of both the evolution of young people's spatial knowledge and the refiguration of spaces. As such, this book will appeal to scholars conducting spatial research on childhood and youth as well as scholars interested in urban studies from diverse disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, geography, architecture, urban planning, and design.

Abstract

The study of medieval and early modern geographic space, literary cartography, and spatial thinking at a time of rapid digitization in the Humanities offers new ways to investigate spatial knowledge and world perceptions in pre-modern societies. Digitization of cultural heritage collections, open source databases, and interactive resources utilizing a rich variety of source materials-place names, early modern cadastral maps, medieval literature and art, Viking Age and medieval runic inscriptions-provides opportunities to re-think traditional lines of research on spatiality and worldviews, encourage innovation in methodology, and engage critically with digital outcomes. In this book, Nordic scholars of philology, onomastics, history, geography, literary studies, and digital humanities examine multiple aspects of ten large- and small-scale digital spatial infrastructures from the early stages of development to the practical applications of digital tools for studying spatial thinking and knowledge in pre-modern sources and societies.

Abstract

"Comment interpréter la présence de quelques formes géométriques dans le cinéma de fiction, non pas tant pour leur fonction narrative ou ornementale, qu'à proportion des connexions qu'elles engagent avec l'histoire et la théorie de l'art ? On sait ce que la perspective linéaire doit aux grilles, damiers et autres cubes — tous éléments princeps de l'élaboration de son illusion de profondeur. Mais on ne s'est pas suffisamment étonné du fait que ces outils au service de l'illusion apparaissent aussi bien en tant que motifs, logés au cœur des tableaux comme autant de figures rappelant la fabrique de l'image. Si le cinéma n'a guère besoin du treillis de Dürer ou du damier de Filippo Lippi pour élaborer son espace avec (ou sans) son illusion de profondeur, il offre cependant au regard quantité de damiers (ainsi, dans La Notte, 1961), de grilles (depuis The Incredible Shrinking Man, 1957, jusqu'à Tron, 1982), de cubes (Cube, 1997). Nous gageons que ces modules géométriques sont les indices de problèmes de représentation peu ou prou anciens dont les films se ressaisissent trouvant, dans la fiction, le moyen de remettre en jeu ou en scène leur histoire"

Abstract

"Chronotopie" désigne le caractère indissociable des relations que nous entretenons avec le temps et l'espace et qui sont vécues différemment selon le lieu où l'on vit. Ainsi, au Brésil, on peut parler d'un espace par excès et d'un temps par défaut, un rapport qui s'inverse au Japon. Quant à la Chine, elle présente une congruence entre l'espace (immense comme au Brésil) et le temps (long comme au Japon).Cette chronotopie est ensuite questionnée à travers trois formes artistiques (littérature, cinéma, théâtre) qui explorent des virtualités et inventent des possibles. Énoncées avec simplicité, ces réflexions inédites permettent de mieux comprendre la complexité des sociétés contemporaines.
