The 'festivalisation' of culture, politics and space in cities is often regarded as problematic, but this book examines the positive and negative ways that festivals affect cities by examining festive spaces as contested spaces. The book focuses on Western European cities, a particularly interesting context given the social and cultural pressures associated with high levels of in-migration and concerns over the commercialisation and privatisation of public spaces.The key themes of this book are the quest for more inclusive urban spaces and the contested geographies of festival spaces and places. Festivals are often used by municipal authorities to break down symbolic barriers that restrict who uses public spaces and what those spaces are used for. However, the rise of commercial festivals and ticketed events means that they are also responsible for imposing physical and financial obstacles that reduce the accessibility of city parks, streets and squares.Alongside addressing the contested effects of urban festivals on the character and inclusivity of public spaces, the book addresses more general themes including the role of festivals in culture-led regeneration. Several chapters analyse festivals and events as economic development tools, and the book also covers contested representations of festival cities and the ways related images and stories are used in place marketing.A range of cases from Western Europe are used to explore these issues, including chapters on some of the world's most significant and contested festival cities: Venice, Edinburgh, London and Barcelona. The book covers a wide range of festivals, including those dedicated to music and the arts, but also events celebrating particular histories, identities and pastimes. A series of fascinating cases are discussed - from the Venice Biennale and Dublin Festival of History, to Rotterdam's music festivals and craft beer festivals in Manchester. The diverse and innovative qualities of the book are also evident in the range of urban spaces covered: obvious examples of public spaces - such as parks, streets, squares and piazzas - are addressed, but the book includes chapters on enclosed public spaces (e.g., libraries) and urban blue spaces (waterways) too. This reflects the interpretation of public spaces as socio-material entities: they are produced informally through their use (including for festivals and events), as well as through their formal design and management. 517 $aFestivals and the City 606 $aSpecial events$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSpecial events$xSocial aspects. 676 $a394.2 700 $aSmith$b Andrew$0388518 702 $aOsborn$b Guy 702 $aQuinn$b Bernadette 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910587601303321 996 $aFestivals and the City$93018205 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04021nam 22006855 450 001 9910298393203321 005 20200704000502.0 010 $a3-319-05597-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-05597-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000106745 035 $a(EBL)1731064 035 $a(OCoLC)879334752 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001204809 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11658754 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001204809 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11182298 035 $a(PQKB)10958498 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1731064 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-05597-8 035 $a(PPN)17831921X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000106745 100 $a20140430d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBeyond the North-South Culture Wars $eReconciling Northern Australia's Recent Past With Its Future /$fby Allan Dale 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (154 p.) 225 1 $aSpringerBriefs in Geography,$x2211-4165 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-319-05596-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aFrom the Contents: Themes in the North's Recent History -- Understanding the Cultural Divide -- Southern Enclaves - Mining, Tourism and Urban Development -- Enviro-colonialism - World Heritage and the Northern Psyche. 330 $aIncreasingly, Australia?s agriculturalists are looking to the nation?s north to escape the decline in southern Australia?s water and soil resources. Booming mineral and gas development is also helping to drive the nation?s economic success. At the same time, the south?s conservation sector would like to see much of the north preserved as iconic wilderness. Both conservation and resource development interests alike are often at odds with the interests of the north?s traditional owners, many of whom remain trapped in welfare dependency and poverty. Indeed, to the ire of north Australians, the past five decades of north Australian history have indeed been characterized by these national-scale conflicts being played out in regional and local communities. This book explores these conflicts as well as the many emerging opportunities facing the development of the north, suggesting that a strong cultural divide between northern and southern Australia exists; one that needs to be reconciled if the nation as a whole is to benefit from northern development. The author first explores where these historical conflicts could take us without a clear forward agenda. A story-based personal narrative from his long and diverse experience in the north gives life to these themes. Finally, the book then draws on these stories to help shape a cohesive agenda for the north?s future. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Geography,$x2211-4165 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEcology 606 $aClimate 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aClimate, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/300000 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aClimate. 615 14$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aClimate, general. 676 $a994 700 $aDale$b Allan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058798 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298393203321 996 $aBeyond the North-South Culture Wars$92502522 997 $aUNINA
