This book in English directed by Renée Dickason and Benoît Raoulx is a joint venture between disciplines within the Maison de la Recherche en Sciences Humaines (MRSH) an interdiscipinary institute for social sciences and humanities located at the University of Caen Normandy. Two laboratories -one specializing in social geography, the other other in Anglo-American media and cultural studies - have initied to work around the notions of social space(s) and the depicting of societies/communities through the visual narratives of films, either on the large or on the small screen. The constructions of social realities are complex and what is innovative about this venture is the juxtaposition of methods, approaches, theories and practices. Ten authors, coming from different disciplines and universities, have contributed to this book.
