{"product_id":"the-displaced-city-von-lennart-jacobsen","title":"The Displaced City","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough the city of Melbourne began to feature  increasingly in Australian films during the 1960s  and 1970s, the role of the architectural background  in developing the narrative and visual qualities of  films, and the ways in which these visions of the  cinematic city were shaped by the changes to the  urban environment, have largely been ignored by  commentators on the cinema. It is my intention in  this thesis to examine a range of films made in  Melbourne from the late 1950s through to the mid- 1980s, in order to illustrate that filmmakers were  increasingly engaging with the built environment  around them and were making sophisticated and  insightful observations on modern and high-rise  architecture that both transfixed them and repelled  them. As Melbourne¿s high-rise buildings were one of  the most public manifestations of modernity,  filmmakers responses to and interpretations of the  new architecture can provide insights into the ways  that modernity, place and identity came together in  a debate within the cinematic format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838365473\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRepresentations of Highrise Architecture in Melbourne Film, 1955-1985\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838365473","offer_id":39498947166301,"sku":"9783838365473","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9118bae0-6a96-4243-a5f5-cab36c37f755.jpg?v=1776232922","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-displaced-city-von-lennart-jacobsen","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
