In viaggio nei “mondi/universi possibili”. Postfazione

Abstract

The first way of travelling at a movie is always virtual/mental (film-related imagination) and subsequently, a real movement may occur towards movie sets or locations seen in the movie (film-induced travel). This double (immersive) process of knowledge of the other and places, that cinematography (perception of the filmic sense) initiated, established a new way of experiencing/knowing/understanding global culture since the very first movies – starting from the cultural identity of the reference frameworks (embodied imaginary), which are different from each other but always parts of the broader common conscience of individuals (mankind) and a single large country (the World). The movie tourists/spectators have become virtual citizens through the media as they live in the McLuhanian “global village” in its broadest sense.
