Mobile geographies. An overview of the experiences of filmic geography

Abstract

This paper aims to trace and shed light on recent developments in filmic geography, an emerging theme of Anglo-Saxon geography that has animated the scientific debate over the last twenty years, attracting the attention of researchers who are interested in mobile audiovisual technologies. The aim is to give an initial overview of the filmic works made by geographers, reviewing and examining their typologies, themes, potential and critical issues, connecting the issues of filmic geography with the recent Italian debate on the University’s Third Mission and, more generally, on public geography.
