This book includes contributions from academics, artists and
heritage practitioners, the volume explores decolonial heritage
practices in politics, contemporary history, diplomacy, museum
practice, the visual arts and self-generated memorial expressions
in public spaces. The comparative focus of the chapters includes
examples of internal colonization in Europe and extends to former
European colonies, among them Shanghai, Cape Town, and Rio de
Janeiro. Examining practices in a range of different contexts, the
book pays particular attention to sub-national actors whose work is
opening up new futures through their engagement with decolonial
heritage practices in the present. The volume also considers the
challenges posed by applying decolonial thinking to existing
understandings of colonial heritage. This book examines the role of
colonial heritage in European memory politics and heritage
diplomacy. It will be of interest to academics and students working
in the fields of heritage and memory studies, colonial and imperial
history, European studies, sociology, cultural studies, development
studies, museum studies, and contemporary art.

Global Media, Biopolitics and Affect shows how mediations of bodily
vulnerability have become a strong political force in contemporary
societies. In discussions and struggles concerning war involvement,
healthcare issues, charity, democracy movements, contested national
pasts, and climate change, performances of bodily vulnerability is
increasingly used by citizens to raise awareness, create sympathy,
encourage political action, and to circulate information in global
media networks. The book thus argues that bodily vulnerability can
serve as a catalyst for affectively charging and disseminating
particular political events or issues by means of media. To
investigate how, when and why that happens, and to evaluate the
long-term social impacts of mediating bodily vulnerability, the
book offers a theoretical framework for understanding the role of
bodily vulnerability in contemporary digital media culture.
Likewise, it presents a range of close empirical case studies in
the areas of illness blogging, global protests after the killing of
Neda Agda Soltan in Iran, charity communication, green media
activism, online war commemoration and digital witnessing related
to conflicts in Sarajevo and Ukraine.

Over the last decade, the close relationship between culture and
economy - or "the experience economy" - has risen on the agenda.
Although there is an established research field for analysing the
economic impact of entrepreneurship, there is currently a limited
amount of research that analyses the cultural impact and
opportunity of entrepreneurship. Linking experience economy with
enterprising behavior moves the term away from businesses'
competitiveness and consumer behavior towards a more value-focused
business in general. This ground-breaking book integrates
entrepreneurship and empowerment into one central theme, drawing on
research from both the social sciences (innovation,
entrepreneurship, empowerment and activism) and the humanities
(participatory culture, user-generated designs, creative networks).
Enterprising Initiatives expands the definition of entrepreneurship
beyond a primarily economic profit-seeking phenomenon to a broader
understanding of enterprising behaviour based on an
individual-opportunity nexus. Beyond social entrepreneurship, it
explores a broad range of individual, collective and cooperative
citizen initiatives under the umbrella of enterprising action. This
innovative approach will be of great interest to scholars in
entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, cultural
entrepreneurship, cultural studies, and consumer culture, as well
as for policy makers in public and local government, regional
development and cultural event management.
The collection proposes inventive research strategies for the study
of the affective and fluctuating dimensions of cultural life. It
presents studies of nightclubs, YouTube memes, political
provocations, heritage sites, blogging, education development, and
haunting memories.
We live in an era of experimentation - both if we look at the
broader social world of politics, media and art and at the narrower
context of academic knowledge production. This collection consists
of 14 chapters by leading scholars in affect studies. They explore
the affective dimensions of experimental practices related to, for
example, activism, the COVID-19 pandemic, populism, sustainability,
patient communities, music streaming, Jamaican dancehall, gangs,
leadership, tourism and minority youth cultures. Experiments are
understood as intentionally crafted milieus aimed at (re)presenting
unnoticed aspects of the world, as non-linear processes with
unpredictable outcomes, and as ways of giving the future a
provisional form. The collection responds to a pressing need to
understand the intersection between affect, experimentation and
sociocultural change by offering empirical strategies to explore
how, and with what consequences, experimentation is affective.

From the highly influential concept of 'staged authenticity'
discussed by Dean MacCannell, to the general claim of longing for
authenticity on behalf of all Western consumers, made by Joseph
Pine and James Gilmore, it is obvious that the concept of
authenticity is still worth considering. This ground-breaking book
re-thinks and re-invests in the notion of authenticity as a surplus
of experiential meaning and feeling that derives from what we do at
/ in places. In Re-investing Authenticity - Tourism, Place and
Emotions international scholars representing a wide range of
disciplines, examine contemporary performances of authenticity in
travel and tourism practices: From cultural place branding to
individual pilgrim performances; from intensified experiences of
imaginary crime scenes to the rhetorical features of the encounter
with the traumatic and; from photography performing memories of
place to experiences of wilderness producing excitement, this book
demonstrates how the feeling of authenticity within places is
produced.
