This book is part of an ongoing transnational turn in cultural
history. Studies on the history of urban popular culture and the
entertainment industries increasingly engage with the European or
global circulation of genres, actors, and shows, especially during
the period of massive growth and expansion of the sector from the
1870s to the 1930s. Nevertheless, a large part of this research
remains focused on exchanges between Western and Central European,
and North American metropolises. To provide a fuller picture of the
emergence and cross-border transfer of different genres of popular
culture, this volume investigates Northern, East Central, and
Southern European cities and their relations with each other and
the West. The authors analyze the mediating agents, transnational
networks, and local responses to new forms of entertainment from
Madrid to Vyborg, and from Istanbul to Reykjavik. These examples
re-focus the history of urban popular culture in Europe in view of
multidirectional transfers and a wider range of regional
experiences. Urban Popular Culture and Entertainment will appeal to
researchers and students alike interested in the history of popular
culture in modern societies, particularly those studying urban
centers in Europe, and their transnational and transregional
connections.
This edited volume approaches regionalism as one potential pattern
in a changing global order. Since the end of the Cold War,
different forms of territorialization have emerged and we are
confronted with an increasing number and variety of actors that are
establishing regional projects. This volume offers an innovative
contribution to the study of this new complexity by exploring
constellations of regional actors, spatial scales and imaginations
beyond state-centred perspectives as well as on multiple, often
overlapping levels. The chapters analyse the emergence,
trajectories and outcomes of regionalisms from the perspective of
the Global South, specifically concentrating on regional projects
in Latin America and Africa, but also in the Asia-Pacific. They
attempt to identify the specific conditions and junctures of
different forms of region-making in their external (global) and
internal (local/national) dimensions. The volume also places
special emphasis on interactions, spatial entanglements and
comparisons between regionalisms in different parts of the world.
By expanding beyond the perspective of North-South transfers, this
book seeks to better understand the dynamics and diversity of
interregional interactions. This volume will appeal to scholars of
global studies, international political economy, international
relations, human geography, and development studies, as well as
area studies specialists who focus on Latin America and Africa.
