The Media and the Tourist Imagination : Converging Cultures
This article applies a revisionist analysis to the British crime film in the terms ofthe tourist imagination, examining such key films as the foundational They MadeMe a Fugitive, (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1948), the transitional GetCarter, (Mike Hodges 1970), up to the present. Main themes have to do with theway in which the sense of place created by the films has as much to do with defining‘Britishness’ against a mostly American‘other’, while remaining in dialogue with it, as documentaryinfluence. National and transnational identities are articulated through bothcharacter and the landscape: the regional and the national, and the national and thetransnational, forming parallel, dynamics. The theme of the journey is revealed tobe as much ‘psychic’, ‘the journey within’,as geographical, especially in regard to the city, a defining construct.
