According to postmodernist theories space does not exist as a blank to be filled. It is already marked by social factors. The planet earth, nature, the city and the home are all socially constructed by the perceiver, the spectator, the reader, the traveller and dweller. And vice-versa, space constructs the subject. This module will look at ways in which the dialectic between subjectivity and space construct each other, sometimes producing places and cities which are dystopian. Postmodernist theories have revolutionised architecture and the urban spaces we inhabit by deconstructing the power systems which produce them. This course will discuss these theories in the context of films and fiction.
