Abstract
Since the end of 20th century there has been a shift in focus from history to geography in the social sciences, a phenomenon that has been called the ‘spatial turn’ (Doring & Thielmann, 2008; Falkheimer & Jansson, 2006; Knowles, 2000; Warf & Arias, 2009). In combination with the ‘cultural turn’ that preceded it (Hall, 1990; Jameson, 1998; Oberg, 1960), the influence of the ‘spatial turn’ was apparent in the areas of both literary theory (e.g. Siegel, 1981; Timms & Kelley, 1985) and cinematic studies (e.g. Albrecht, 1986; Weiner, 1970) even earlier, and both the spatial connotations of the city and the symbolic meanings of landscape have been recognized in the humanities for quite some time.
