Authors:	Xydakis, Ioannis Spanoudi, Zoe
Keywords:	Religious Education
Issue Date:	26-Dec-2022
Description:	One of the main schemata of the postmodern period is the way the urban environment is presented, i.e. the modern city, especially in one of the most popular new media, which is cinema and television. The most prominent definition of the city and urban environment is that it is an organized set of buildings, dwellings and a large population. However, we notice in various films and tv shows, in fact both science fiction and various social content, that the city as an organized whole with laws, defined rhythms, i.e. with its usual daily life exists: a. to frame movie characters merely as scenery, b. to give them occasions to reveal the elements of their character, c. to support with its typical urban landscape the plot, i.e. the development of the characters' adventure/story. In the present script, to show the above patterns, we refer to four films/tv shows [1. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), 2. Friends (1994-2004), 3. Ghostbusters, 4. The Amazing Spiderman (2012)] that take place in contemporary New York.
