So Sobchack talks about all of these transient lounge time spaces (bar, hotel, train/bus station, ...)
but what about this space of the beach house or cottage that keeps coming up in these films (Devil in a Blue Dress, Mildred Pierce, Ripley, Murder My Sweet)? Does she talk about it and I just haven't noticed? Does someone else talk about it?
It seems like a really interesting space, like people are trying to escape the pressures of the city for some sort of refuge in nature, trying to push right out to the periphery of society (until they hit ocean and physically can't get any further away). People go there to escape the prying eyes of society so they can be free, or to murder someone with impunity.
For my essay I want to talk about the beach houses in Ripley as lounge time spaces that are just as transient and unhomelike as the jazz club, record store, opera, cruise ship, etc.
Is there someone on the course I should be citing this idea from? What do you guys think of this space? Does it work like Sobchack's other spaces? Or does it have its own explanation?
