Abstract. The paper deals with the notion of film genre in general and the road movie, perhaps the most American and much contested genre in particular, employing Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope. Key Words: Film, Genre, Road Movie, Chronotope While the notion of genre has been ubiquitous in film studies from their very begin-nings, it r...
The films discussed in this category not only share the road as the main setting which--by nature--most road movies do, but they focus primarily on the journey of their pro-tagonists. Yet, emphasis is placed more on their temporal movement than on a specific road or destination as the realization of geographical and historical space. Therefore, a c...
In general terms, what we call the "chronotope of escape" on the road has informed many films that are generally recognized as road movies and many more that are not. In this instance of a chronotope frequently encountered in road movies, the road functions primarily as a means of escape and is characterized by a movement away from "some-thing," a ...

The reason for the main character hitting the road in the first place can frequently be found in a dubious past and involves motives such as flight from th...

Movies in which California is a mythic cocaine, a land of infinite freedom where "you don't have to buy fruit, you just pick it from the trees" (as the lowly killer protagonist Early in Kalifornia believes) and whe...
Characteristically, the spatial movement of what we call the chronotope of city roads is circular, as in both teenage cruise-films such as George Lucas' American Graffiti and taxicab stories like Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Jim Jarmusch's Night on Earth, the drivers always return to and/or depart from the same locations. The formula "time spe...
Related to varying degrees to the chronotope of "stuck on the way", the quest for the Promised Land, and of escape on the road, the chronotope of "Dead End City" revolves around questions such as what happens when the road doesn't go on or when the Prom-ised Land turns out to be just another dead end. Remarkably, much like the Promised Land can be ...
The concept of a "chronotope of the road," as Bakhtin introduced it, necessarily ex-plodes the random categories elaborated on in our essay, as there usually is more than just one particular chronotope to be found in any film. Our view through a chronotopic lens allows for this kind of arbitrary classification, for it is in itself a concept charact...
Rad se bavi pojmom filmskog žanra uopšte, a posebno filmom putovanja, možda najameričkijim i najosoporavanijim žanrom primenjujući pojam hronotopa Mihaila Bahtina. Ključne reči: Film, žanr, Film putovanja, Hronotop
