Review
A hugely ambitious mapping of the complex intertwinings of film, architecture, and the body. We think of film as a predominantly visual medium, but Bruno insists that it is as much about the positioning and movement of the body in space. . . This adventurous book will be of interest to anyone concerned with what we might call "mobility studies": the attempt to understand cultural performances not as the manifestation of fixed structures but as the expression of restless energies. -- Stephen Greenblatt, Harvard University
Engrossing...captures the excitement of fitting discovery to theory in a way sadly missing from much fossilized academic 'film theory' . -- Ian Christie, Times Higher Education Supplement
One of those critical works packed with learning that takes you on a unique, exhilarating ride through its author's imagination. -- Marina Warner, The Guardian
[A]n exhilarating ride...a whole new understanding of spatial experience. -- Mark Wigley, Professor of Architecture, Columbia University
Product Description
Named a 2003 Book of the Year by The Guardian [London], winner of the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz Moving Image Book Award in Culture and History (honoring "the world's best book on the moving images") and honored as an "Outstanding Academic Title" in Choice, the publication of the American Library Association.
With forays into the fields of geography, art, architecture, design, cartography, and film, Giuliana Bruno's Atlas of Emotion is a highly original endeavour to map a cultural history of the visual arts. She insists throughout on the inseparability of seeing and travelling. In so doing, she touches on the art of Gerhard Richter and Annette Messager; the filmmaking of Peter Greenaway and Michelangelo Antonioni; the architecture of cinema and its precursors. Visually luscious and daring in conception, the voyage opens new vistas and understandings at every turn.
