In doing so, it complicates the notion of a link between public visibility afforded to the counter-hegemonic ontological propositions by mapping and their social recognition.Īkerman, James R. It draws attention to the ambiguities of the politics of visibility granted by mapping to spatial/meaning propositions and the limits this politics encounters when employed to intervene in the everyday politics of public space where visibility of non-normative spatialities constitutes a matter of public concern.
While exploring the potential of cartographic visualization in articulating the lived perspectives of homeless dwellers and supporting their claims for belonging in the city’s public spaces, this paper examines also the risks of unleashing the power of mapping in this particular spatialized struggle for recognition. The attention is aimed at the uncertainties related to using a map – conceptualized as a system of ontological claims and locative assertions – as a medium of this engagement. The focus is on the possibilities of countering the displacing effects of Othering through curated engagement of the housed public with the proposition about the possibility and acceptability of inhabiting the city which emerges from the unhoused manner of emplacement in shared urban settings. Letterboxd scores are out of five, IMDb scores are out of 10, and Metascores are out of 100.This article critically examines the potentialities of counter-mapping as means of facilitating public recognition of street homelessness as another (rather than Other) form of urban life. Films are ranked by Letterboxd scores, with initial ties broken by IMDb user ratings and secondary ties broken by Metascore. Only feature films were considered (sorry, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”), and each film had to be watched by at least 1,000 Letterboxd users.
As a result, we considered any movie that takes place over Thanksgiving, or involves significant Thanksgiving scenes, to be part of our “best of” list. There are no hard and fast rules that define a Thanksgiving movie, and we agree that leaning into more open interpretations of what fits in certain fringe genres is best practice for developing a pool of films that represent all possible expressions of a particular sub-genre. To determine which movies would qualify, our experts surveyed the history of film, comprehensive film databases, and legitimate editorial compilations of Thanksgiving movies.Īt Stacker, we recognize that genre is meant to help describe and communicate the vibe of a film, not to serve as a limiting factor on what films can and cannot be. Stacker analyzed data from Letterboxd, IMDb, and Metacritic to rank the highest-rated Thanksgiving films of all time. But amid all that Yuletide cheer, Thanksgiving shouldn’t be forgotten-and there are quite a few movies that align with turkey day, many of which can be an enjoyable addition to seasonal traditions. With new releases every year at both the box office and on streaming services, as well as all those classic favorites we know and love, there’s no shortage of Christmas movies to add to your watch list.
When one thinks of holiday movies, the first thing that springs to mind is most likely Christmas.
