Using filmic case studies, including \u003ci\u003eCode Inconnu\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e, and focusing on key concerns developed in the works of the philosophers Deleuze, Olsson, and Wittgenstein, Abrahamsson starts within the notion of fixed spatiality, in which human thought and action are anchored in the given of identity. He then moves through a social world in which spatiotemporal transformations are neither fixed nor taken for granted. Finally he edges into the pure temporality that lies beyond the maps of fixed points and social relations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each chapter is organized into two subjects: topoi, or excerpts from the films, and graphein, the author's interpretation of presented theories to mirror the displacements, transpositions, juxtapositions, fluctuations, and transformations between delimited categories. A landmark work in the study of human geography, Abrahamsson's book proposes that academic and intellectual attention should focus on the spatialization between meaning and its materialization in everyday life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Abrahamsson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496205774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496205773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Christian Abrahamsson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936367214847,"sku":"9781496205773","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a27131f0-806a-4c77-9995-639bc2b772ee.jpg?v=1681425151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/topoigraphein-christian-abrahamsson-9781496205773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
