Mega-Events as Economies of the Imagination: Creating Atmospheres for Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 - Routledge Advances in Sociology 1st edition
Tzanelli, Rodanthi (University of Leeds, UK)
Mega-Events as Economies of the Imagination argues that the ‘Olympic City’ is produced by aesthetic 'imagineers', mobile groups of architects, artists and entrepreneurs, who aesthetically ‘engineer’ native cultures as utopias. Tzanelli examines how these imagineers problematize notions of creativity, cosmopolitan togetherness and belonging.
