Drawing on a variety of fields and extensive first-hand research, the contributions offer a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues confronting urban Africa in the twenty-first century.At a time when the future of the region as a whole will be determined in large part by its cities, the implications of these developments are profound. With case studies from cities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania, this volume explores how the rapid growth of African cities is reconfiguring the relationship between urban social life and its built forms. While the most visible transformations in cities today can be seen as infrastructural, these manifestations are cultural as well as material, reflecting the different ways in which the city is rationalised, economised and governed.How can we 'see like a city' in twenty-first-century Africa, understanding the urban present to shape its future? This is the central question posed throughout this volume, with a practical focus on how academics, local decision makers and international practitioners can collaborate to meet the challenge of rapid growth, environmental pressures and resource gaps.This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable cities and communities 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 606 $aSouthern Africa$2bicssc 606 $aHuman geography$2bicssc 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 610 $aAfrican cities; infrastructure; seeing like a city 615 7$aUrban communities 615 7$aSouthern Africa 615 7$aHuman geography 615 7$aDevelopment studies 676 $a307.76/096 702 $aKeith$b Michael, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSantos$b Andreza Aruska de Souza, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557163703321 996 $aAfrican cities and collaborative futures$93363485 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04601nam 22006855 450 001 9910746070503321 005 20251009072206.0 010 $a981-9949-65-3 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-99-4965-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30745842 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30745842 035 $a(CKB)28234560300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-99-4965-6 035 $a(OCoLC)1399431823 035 $a(EXLCZ)9928234560300041 100 $a20230915d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aContemporary Horror on Screen $eAn Evolving Visual Narrative /$fedited by Sarah Baker, Amanda Rutherford, Richard Pamatatau 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (233 pages) 225 1 $aLiterature, Cultural and Media Studies 311 08$aPrint version: Baker, Sarah Contemporary Horror on Screen Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789819949649 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntroduction -- Panic Watching: On the Function of Consuming Fictional Pandemics during a Real Pandemic -- When corporate biology gets caught up with Mother nature: An analysis of the Netflix viral horror The Rain -- Representations of environmental apocalyptic horror in Greenland -- From Haaa!

In examining the prevalence of dark tropes in contemporary horror films such as Get Out, Annabelle: Creation, A Quiet Place, Hereditary and The Nun, as well as series such as Stranger Things, American Horror Story and Game of Thrones, amongst numerous others, the authors contend that we are witnessing the emergence of a ?horror renaissance?. They posit that horror films or programmes, once widely considered to be a low form of popular culture entertainment, can contain deeper meanings or subtext and are increasingly covering serious subject matter. This book thus explores how horror is utilised as a tool to explore social and political anxieties of the cultural moment and is thus presented as a site for contestation, exploration and expansion to discuss present-day fears. It demonstrates how contemporary horror reflects the horror of modern-day life, be it political, biological, social or environmental. A vital contribution to studies of the horror genre in contemporary culture, and the effect it has on social anxieties in a threatening and seemingly apocalyptic time for the world, this is a vital text for students and researchers in popular culture, film, television and media studies. 410 0$aLiterature, Cultural and Media Studies 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aFilm Studies 606 $aGlobal Film and TV 606 $aMedia Culture 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 14$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aFilm Studies. 615 24$aGlobal Film and TV. 615 24$aMedia Culture. 676 $a791.436164 702 $aBaker$b Sarah 702 $aRutherford$b Amanda 702 $aPamatatau$b Richard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746070503321 996 $aContemporary Horror on Screen$93569150 997 $aUNINA
