Description

Explore the shifting definitions of national character and heritage in this scholarly work from Routledge. Cosmopolitan Memory in Europe's 'Backwaters' reconsiders how Western industrial modernity impacts cultural identity. Using the Greek islands of Skiathos and Skopelos as a primary case study, the text examines the real-world effects of global media influence. This book investigates how the blockbuster film Mamma Mia! (2008) used these locations, and what that means for the local identity of these regions. It looks at the transition from identities shaped by political, cultural, and religious practices to those shaped by global industries like film and tourism. This study provides a deep look into how national identity can be reduced to an ideal that is created and sold to a global audience. It is an essential read for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the intersection of media and culture.
