영문 초록

The modern age has provided human society with new environments of various forms, which have arisen from the integration of space and technology. The machine civilization, including construction technology,brought with it unfamiliar spaces that newly defined human life. From the start, cinema served as an effective medium for reflecting such spatial changes. Whereas large cities were the main motif of movies during the early 20th century, screens in the 21st century have been filled with images of metropolises and the intricate networks formed by cities around the world. Thus, films have moved beyond their original function of displaying certain spaces now they seek ways to express spatial composition methods and show people traversing various places, which in turn form a network. This study attempted to understand space from a new perspective by examining film representations of voluntary immigrants and active nomads in the global age. To interpret space, this study analyzed several films set in the metropolis of Paris. This study focused on how large cities, as spaces of diaspora, are built of different spaces and the communication that is generated in the process of connecting them. In this case, the diaspora is not limited to humans. ‘Technological diaspora’ already is evident in the movies of the present day, as films become integrated with other media and as computers and cell phones function as movie screens. Nevertheless, although technology may seem at times to have supplanted 282영 화 연 구 ․ 5 8 호movie screens, theaters have a classical charm that still attracts customers. Like Paris, cinema is an assembly place for numerous technological diaspora although the marks of media technology remain intact, movies still harbor the past and arouse memories of cinema’s birthplace. This can be seen through the project “The Invisible Shape of Things Past”(1995-2007). The process of remembering the birthplace of cinema is not merely a ‘social movement’ rather, it should be understood as a concept that incorporates ‘communication, media and means of transportation.’
