| Sumario: | Blinking spaces are a particular type of cinematic space in which the past and present incarnations of a film location are simultaneously depicted. They are particularly useful to expose the trace of the past in the present, especially in those psychogeographical documentaries that show abandoned places as both lived spaces and historical locations. The close analysis of three of these films –'California Company Town' (Lee Anne Schmitt, 2008), 'Ruínas' (Manuel Mozos, 2009) and 'Toponimia' (Jonathan Perel, 2015)– will allow us to better understand the process through which the identity of a place is shaped by the slow sedimentation of emotional and historical meanings. |
