On real and imaginary spaces: Mapping the archive
Abstract
The radically expanded concept of space, the so-called spatial turn found in the cultural and social sciences since the late 1980s, opens new possibilities for artistic practices that respond to the multilayered spaces of cities: the physical space with its built structures; the archive with its collected and catalogued documents as well as their systems of representation; and the imaginary space of certain cultural and ideological visions. Based on theories that assume these spaces not only determine each other and are mutually dependent, but overlap, and together create the space we experience, the article brings together two projects that map and explore urban settlements in London and Los Angeles by setting out a trail from the database of the archive: the historical records of the interdisciplinary British social research project Mass Observation (on London's housing situation in the early 1940s) and collected data found on the social housing debate in Los Angeles during the early 1950s.

Background & Study Aim: Set-jetting’ is also known as ‘movie tourism’, ‘film tourism’, ‘screen tourism’ or ‘movie-induced tourism’. It can be defined as the phenomenon of visiting places known from the screen. None of the existing set-jetting researches has applied the contingent valuation method yet. The existing research on set-jetting consists mostly of studies concerning on mapping the phenomenon. The aim of this paper is the knowledge about the economic value of railway bridge over Pilchowice Lake which is a part of the Bóbr Valley Railway ‘Bobertalbahn’.
Material and Methods: The object of the research was a railroad bridge over the Pilchowice Lake located in Poland, in Lower Silesia province, Lwówecki district, Wleń commune (the examined bridge was a shooting location of many films). The paper uses a contingent valuation method (CVM) with willingness to pay (WTP) option, supported by literature studies conducted by the authors. Data was collected with a questionnaire prepared by the authors in an online form in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The search was conducted from August to December 2020.
Results: The economic value of the railway bridge over the Pilchowice Lake totalled almost PLN 2.6 million (EUR 0.6 million) in 2019 and PLN 111.4 million (EUR 24 million) in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Conclusions: Set-jetting increased tourist traffic 3 times, as well as the economic value of the Bóbr Valley Railway including the railroad bridge over Pilchowice Lake. In addition, it was found that increased WTP does not depend on age, education level or income level. Authors’ contribution is the first ever study during the Covid-19 pandemic of an unused railway bridge gathering the knowledge about its economic value.
