Intellect is delighted to announce the new issue of /Journal of Urban
Cultural Studies 3.1, /which is a special issue on Cinemacity. This
special issue takes Deleuze’s conception of cinema as an autonomous
thinking machine and the contributions to this issue variously serve to
explicate the connections between city and cinema framed by this sense
of cinematicity.

List of articles (partial list):


*Cinemticity: City and Cinema after Deleuze*
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21431/>

*Authors*: /David B. Clarke and Marcus A. Doel/

Page Start: 3

This article presents cinema as a preeminent thinker of the city. It
contextualises a range of scholarship committed to exploring the
potential of Deleuze’s thought in relation to the ‘cinematic city’ –
precipitating a Deleuzian encounter with a process that we have chosen
to call cinemacity: the autocratic thinking of the city by the cinema.


*The architectural cinematicity of Wang Shu and the architectonic cinema
of Jia Zhangke: Diagrammatically decomposing the ‘main melody’ in
monu-metal assemblage art*
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21432/>

*Authors: */David H. Fleming /

Page Start: 33

In this article author D. Fleming explores Wang and Jia’s affective
repurposing of urban detritus or salvaged cinematic material allows
their sensational artworks to emit signals that subtly decompose the
‘main melodies’ associated with China’s embrace of modernization.


*Paris vs providence: Framing the crystalline city in Jean Renoir’s La
Chienne (1931)*
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21433/>

*Authors: */Barry Nevin/

Page Start: 55

This article ultimately argues that Renoir’s crystalline image is not
only the product of camera techniques and characterisation, but also of
the mutually affective relationship between urban physical and social
space.


*Exploring pop-up cinema and the city: Deleuzian encounters with secret
cinema ‘s pop-up screening of The Third Man* <http://www.intellectb>

*Authors: */Ella Harris/

Page Start: 113

In this article Ella Harris mobilizes Deleuze to explore transformative
relationships between filmic and urban space in Secret cinema’s pop-up
screening of Carol Reed’s The Third Man (1949).  By addressing two key
questions within the article Harris develops a nuanced reading of Secret
Cinema’s screening as a co-production of filmic and urban space.
