Your book project sounds fascinating! I think the idea of “possessive spectatorship” is ripe for examination on so many levels, as it serves to constitute individual as well as collective identities. Where does the desire to possess, especially an urban space, come from? and how would something like nostalgia complicate that? Or even David Harvey’s ideas of time-space compression? I’m currently writing about about the intersectionality of an online film community with the physical space and “public” that it inhabits, as it is “mapped” onto boston. Not sure if our ideas about urban and digital space follow the same trajectory, but this post has certainly assisted me in my brainstorming process…thanks for sharing this.
