This book applies the discourse of the so-called 'spatial turn' to
popular contemporary cinema, in particular the action sequences of
twenty-first century Hollywood productions. Tackling a variety of
spatial imaginations (contemporary iconic architecture;
globalisation and non-places; phenomenological knowledge of place;
consumerist spaces of commodity purchase; cyberspace), the diverse
case studies not only detail the range of ways in which action
sequences represent the challenge of surviving and acting in
contemporary space, but also reveal the consistent qualities of
spatial appropriation and spatial manipulation that define the
form. Jones argues that action sequences dramatise the restrictions
and possibilities of space, offering examples of radical spatial
praxis through their depictions of spatial engagement, struggle and
eventual transcendence.
