Description

Mega-Events as Economies of the Imagination examines how atmosphere shapes global perception of major international events, exploring the social imaginaries and cultural representations that define cities during the world's spotlight moments. This Routledge Advances in Sociology volume investigates the ephemeral and lasting atmospheres created during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and the handover ceremony to Tokyo 2020, analysing the intricate connections between place-based ambiance and global consumption contexts. The book explores who resolves atmospheric contradictions within a location's social and cultural rhythms when international attention intensifies, offering critical insights into how mega-events function as economies of imagination that shape public perception and cultural identity on the world stage.
