Global Cinema Studies in Landscape Allegory

Global Cinema Studies in Landscape Allegory explores the narrative and stylistic approaches to imbuing natural settings in audiovisual media with a psychological dimension - or, in other words, configuring a 'landscape' to function beyond its typical role as a backdrop - and the cultural contexts for this aesthetic impulse. Contributors argue that while audiovisual allegory can be understood as inherently avant-garde, certain kinds of stories - and the ways in which they are presented - can be categorized as a 'landscape allegory.' Focusing on the idea of a 'landscape' in the most concrete and literal form, contributions drawing from a global spectrum of cultural contexts work toward establishing a fuller and more culturally diverse understanding of landscape allegory in cinema.
