The contributors to Media Crossroads examine space and place in
media as they intersect with sexuality, race, ethnicity, age,
class, and ability. Considering a wide range of film, television,
video games, and other media, the authors show how spaces-from the
large and fantastical to the intimate and virtual-are shaped by the
social interactions and intersections staged within them. The
highly teachable essays include analyses of media representations
of urban life and gentrification, the ways video games allow users
to adopt an experiential understanding of space, the intersection
of the regulation of bodies and spaces, and how style and
aesthetics can influence intersectional thinking. Whether
interrogating the construction of Portland as a white utopia in
Portlandia or the link between queerness and the spatial design and
gaming mechanics in the Legend of Zelda video game series, the
contributors deepen understanding of screen cultures in ways that
redefine conversations around space studies in film and media.
