Description

Explore the complex relationship between global mega-events and urban identity with Mega-Events as Economies of the Imagination. Published by Routledge, this sociological study examines how atmosphere and ambiance influence a city's mobility within global consumption contexts. By looking at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and the Tokyo 2020 handover ceremony, the text investigates how social imaginaries and utopian representational frames shape the culture of a nation. This book addresses the tension that arises when the eyes of the world focus on a specific location. It analyzes both ephemeral and solidified atmospheres to understand how social and cultural rhythms are managed during massive international gatherings. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural implications tied to these large-scale events and how they impact the way cities are perceived on a global scale.
