TLDR
In this article, a spatial typology of cinematographic narratives using a cybercartographic application has been developed to map the narrative structure of 46 contemporary Canadian films, characterized by the locations of the action, the movement between these locations, and the different places mentioned in these films.Abstract:
The research presented in this chapter aims to initiate the development of a spatial typology of cinematographic narratives, using a cybercartographic application. This application has been developed to map the narrative structure of 46 contemporary Canadian films. The spatial dimensions of these narrative structures were characterized by the locations of the action, the movement between these locations, and the different places mentioned in these films. Throughout the process of mapping and analysing these criteria, some recurrent narrative forms were identified, as well as some connections between certain cinematographic genres (such as documentaries) and complex spatial narrative structures. Based on these results, an initial spatial typology of cinematographic narratives is proposed.read more

Spatiality, Maps, and Mathematics in Critical Human Geography: Toward a Repetition with Difference
TL;DR: The authors argue that some such methods have not always been and need not be so allied, and suggest neglected methods to revisit, new alliances to be forged with critical human geography and cultural critique, and possible paths to enliven geographical imaginations.

How can we map stories? A cybercartographic application for narrative cartography
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a cyber-cartographic application designed to address this issue and provide solutions to help properly map some of the many dimensions of narratives, including the places of the narration (geography), the connection between these places (geometry), as well as the temporal dimension inherent to storytelling.

Computing with many spaces: Generalizing projections for the digital geohumanities and GIScience
Luke Bergmann,David O'Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: This work suggests an approach to pluralizing the spaces available to geographic computation, and extends generalized projections to encompass spatial multiplicity, fragmented spaces, wormholes, and an expanded role for interruptions.

Yongkang Wong,Shaojing Fan,Yangyang Guo,Ziwei Xu,Karen Stephen,Rishabh Sheoran,Anusha Bhamidipati,Vivek Barsopia,Jianquan Liu,Mohan S. Kankanhalli +9 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the problem of computational narrative generation where a goal-driven narrative (in the form of text with or without video) is generated from a single or multiple long videos and outlines a general narrative generation framework.

The Classical Hollywood Cinema: Film Style & Mode of Production to 1960
TL;DR: The authors show that Hollywood films operate within a set of assumptions, shared by different genres, directors and studios, about how a film should look and sound and how these conventions came to standardize the whole filmmaking process itself.

Atlas of the European Novel 1800-1900
TL;DR: Moretti as mentioned in this paper explored the fictionalization of geography in the nineteenth-century novel and found that space may well be the secret protagonist of cultural history, in a series of one hundred maps, alongside Spanish picaresque novels, African colonial romances and Russian novels of ideas.

The Cultural Politics of Place: Local Representation and Oppositional Discourse in Two Films
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the lack of cultural resistance in the early 1970s by local groups in the East End of London is due to the bipolar model of culture with which most cultural geographers appear to work, which establishes a hegemonic ideology which becomes the focus of critique and a counter-hegemonic opposition about which it is difficult to speak.

Novels, Maps, Modernity: The Spatial Imagination, 1850–2000
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss orienting, disorienting the novel, and finding the way to the center of the circle of the novel. But their focus is on the novel itself.
