The term 'cityscaping' is here introduced to characterise the
creative process through which the image of the city is created and
represented in various media - text, film and artefacts. It thus
turns attention away from built urban spaces and onto mental images
of cities. One focus is on the question of which literary, visual
and acoustic means prompt their recipients' spatial imagination;
another is to inquire into the semantics and functions that are
ascribed to the image of a city as constructed in various media.
The examples of ancient texts and works of art, and modern
literature and films, are used to elucidate the artistic potential
of images of the city and the techniques by which they are
semanticised. With its interdisciplinary approach, the volume for
the first time makes clear how strongly mental images of urban
space, both ancient and modern, have been shaped by the techniques
of their representation in media.
