An Archaeological Perspective on "Cloud Travel" Literary Geography Documentaries: Interpreting Cross-Media Production and Construction

Abstract

Fueled by the convergence of media technologies and the surge in human-geography imaging practices, a novel form of literary cross-media construction that integrates archaeological perspectives — the "cloud travel" literary geography documentary — has gained prominence. This genre of documentary delves into the geographical "sites" within literature through a "travel" perspective, employing cinematic language to reconstruct the historical connections between literature and geography, and between writers and their "places". This paper explores the path mechanisms of literary cross-media production and construction from an archaeological standpoint, systematically summarizes the typological features of "cloud travel" literary geography image texts, and deeply analyzes their aesthetic value formation within an archaeological context. The aim is to provide new perspectives and methodologies for interdisciplinary research between literature and archaeology.
