Selected spaces in Wrocław as representation of emotions and carrier of new meanings — a study of three cases

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present how Wrocław is represented in movies and television series, especially in terms of showing specific elements of architecture. It is also important how cultural and metaphorical meanings of these spaces and elements can influence interpretation and (which is equally significant) what impact it can have on the viewer. The article also analyzes specific examples and scenes in terms of both plot and form in which the architectural spaces of the city can be a background for action, a manifestation of the fight for freedom or representation of fantastic element from the dystopian future.
