Cinematic SpacesCinematic space has been regularly discussed; however there are still curious and unexplored areas to look at, and that is what Kinotext-2016 will do.1. Film, which can be read as a map or an atlas, entails mapping and charting of representations of various regions of the world. Yingjin Zhang proposes “polylocality” as a new conceptual framework for such an approach. Polylocality is associated with a diverse film geography and an international film team. Polylocality can also be seen as a blended space – a milieu that has traits of every interacting space.Thus, the first topic is polylocality. 2. Social imagination and physical movement of film characters – slow or accelerated – define the borders of cinematic space. While moving or staying in place, the subject expands or narrows the borders of his physical and/or social world.The second topic is movement and acceleration.3. Every present moment, which is localized in space and felt through, is imprinted in one’s body and mind and thus becomes a storeroom of individual geography. Memories are always localized in space and emotionally tinted; they are like Proust’s madeleine, which consists of image and feeling.The third topic is emotional geography.We invite everyone who is interested in the study and interpretation of cinematic spaces to participate in Kinotext-2016, and we welcome papers on theory and practice of Russian and world cinema. Besides the central theme, which is cinematic spaces, the relations between film and text are also to be discussed.
