71/ Cosa avete fatto a Solange? [What You Done To Solange] (Massimo Dallamano 1972): London17/6/2011 'In an essay on cinematic mapping, Tom Conley has suggested that the sight in a film of a geographical map, "which refers to the real world, complicates the imaginary space of the diegesis as well as the space in which spectatorial subjectivication takes place". What is a complication for the spectator positioned vis-à-vis the imaginary space of the narrative is, however, for the spectator who has already abandoned imaginary spaces for the real world of street names and postcodes, a spectacular sanction. He can, for example, enjoy the solecism when the detective in What Have You Done With Solange? points on a map to the positions for a stake out of, according to the narrative, Battersea Park, South London, but actually is pointing to Regent's Park, in the North. The space between these two parks is, for the map-reading ciné-tourist, the space of spectatorial subjectivication.'
