330 .. $a "The view from above, or the "birds-eye" view, has become so ingrained in contemporary
visual culture that it is now hard to imagine our world without it. It has risen to
pre-eminence as a way of seeing, but important questions about its effects and meanings
remain unexplored. More powerfully than any other visual modality, this image of "everywhere"
supports our idea of a world-view, yet it is one that continues to be transformed
as technologies are invented and refined. This innovative volume, edited by Mark Dorrian
and Frederic Pousin, offers an unprecedented range of discussions on the aerial view,
covering topics that range from sixteenth-century Roman maps, to the Luftwaffe's aerial
survey of Warsaw, to Google Earth. Underpinned by a cross-disciplinary approach that
draws together diverse and previously isolated material, this volume examines the
politics and poetics of the aerial view in relation to architecture, art, film, literature,
photography and urbanism and explores its role in areas such as aesthetics and epistemology.
Structured through a series of detailed case studies, this book builds into a cultural
history of the aerial imagination."--Back cover
