Abstract
From the "blurb":
"The Garden in the Machine explores the evocations of place, and particularly American place, that have become so central to the representational and narrative strategies of alternative and mainstream film and video. Scott MacDonald contextualizes his discussion with a wide-ranging and deeply informed analysis of the depiction of place in nineteenth-and twentieth-century literature, painting, and photography. Examining the representation of nature and landscape in particular, and location in general, MacDonald offers new readings of the films under consideration as well as an expanded sense of modern film history."
