New York in Cinematic Imagination is an interdisciplinary study
into urbanism and cinematic representations of the American
metropolis in the twentieth century. It contextualizes spatial
transformations and discourse about New York during the Great
Depression and the Second World War, examining both imaginary
narratives and documentary images of the city in film. The book
argues that alternating endorsements and critiques of the 1920s
machine age city are replaced in films of the 1930s and 1940s by a
new critical theory of "agitated urban modernity" articulated
against the backdrop of turbulent economic and social settings and
the initial practices of urban renewal in the post-war period.
Written for postgraduates and researchers in the fields of film,
history and urban studies, with 40 black and white illustrations to
work alongside the text, this book is an engaging study into
cinematic representations of New York City.
