This volume explores how mechanisms of postindustrial capitalism
affect places and people in peripheral regions and
de-industrializing cities. While studies of globalization tend to
emphasize localities newly connected to global systems, this
collection, in contrast, analyzes the disconnection of communities
away from the market, presenting a range of ethnographic case
studies that scrutinize the framework of this transformative
process, analyzing new social formations that are emerging in the
voids left behind by the de-industrialization, and introducing a
discussion on the potential impacts of the current economic and
ecological crises on the hyper-mobile model that has characterized
this recent phase of global capitalism and spatially uneven
development.

This collection of original articles, a companion to the authors'
Participatory Visual and Digital Methods, illustrates how
innovative visual and digital research techniques are being used in
various field projects in health care, environmental policy, urban
planning, education and youth development, and heritage management
settings. These methodologies produce rich visual and narrative
data guided by participant interests and priorities, key tools for
collaborative work. The 16 chapters-include digital storytelling,
PhotoVoice, community-based filmmaking, participatory mapping and
GIS, and participatory digital archival research;-provide a
portfolio of model research projects for researchers who wish to
collaborate on community-based studies;-will appeal to an audience
across social science, heritage, health, education, and social
service fields.An open-access companion website will allow readers
to view the research products presented in each contributor's
chapter.

Gubrium and Harper describe how visual and digital methodologies
can contribute to a participatory, public-engaged ethnography.
These methods can change the traditional relationship between
academic researchers and the community, building one that is more
accessible, inclusive, and visually appealing, and one that
encourages community members to reflect and engage in issues in
their own communities. The authors describe how to use photovoice,
film and video, digital storytelling, GIS, digital archives and
exhibits in participatory contexts, and include numerous case
studies demonstrating their utility around the world.

What can a focus on "food projects" in Europe tell us about
contemporary social processes and cultural debates? Valeria
Siniscalchi and Krista Harper show how food becomes a marker of
identity and resistance to social exclusion, and how food values
become tools for transforming power dynamics at the local level and
beyond. Through the comparison of food-centered movements across
Europe, the book explains how these forms of mobilization express
ideologies as well as economic and political objectives. The
chapters use an ethnographic approach to focus on the
transformation of values carried by individuals and groups in
relation to food in Portugal, Greece, Latvia, Moldova, Denmark, the
UK, Italy, and France. Contributors analyze food values, as
expressed in daily life and livelihoods, through specific practices
of production, exchange, and consumption. Topics covered include
Prague's urban agricultural scene, the perception of poverty in
Moldova, shepherds' protests in Sardinia, and organic food
cooperatives in Catalonia.
