First sentence: This study is ostensibly about the (re) presentation of the 'metropolis' in the early history of cinematography, but its primary aim is to explore the points of reference and complex relations between the cinema and the city, between the concern of 'language' and meaning, specifically in regard to Kevin Lynch's notion of 'imageability' and their genealogical roots.
