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.

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

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.

Compute to Tell the Tale: Goal-Driven Narrative Generation

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.

“On Location” Filming in San Diego County from 1985–2005: How a Cinematic Landscape Is Formed Through Incorporative Tasks and Represented Through Mapped Inscriptions

TL;DR: The form of San Diego County's cinematic landscape is shaped by processes of inscription, whereby particular representational techniques are brought to bear, and processes of incorporation, which can be understood as the off-camera decisions, tasks, and events that allow for filming to take place as discussed by the authors.

Urban Musicscapes: Mapping Music-making in Liverpool

Sara Cohen
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study on music-making in the city of Liverpool was presented, where musicians involved with rock, pop and hip hop music interacted with material urban environments, and how they experienced, thought about and reflected on such places in a context of urban change.
