Sport in the City : Cultural Connections
Sport is seen as an increasingly important aspect of urban and regional planning.Related programmes have moved to the forefront of agendas for cities of the present and future.This has occurred as the barriers between so-called ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture continue to disintegrate.Sport is now a key component within strategies for the cultural regeneration of cities and regions, a tendency with mixed outcomes - at times fostering genuinely democratic arrangements, at others pseudo-democratic arrangements, whereby political, business and cultural elites manipulate a sense of sameness and unity among their fellow citizens to smooth the path for the pursuit of what are actually vested interests.Almost any active enactment of a ‘sports city of culture’ risks divisiveness.Recognizing controversies, with both potentially positive and negative outcomes, this book examines sport within contexts of urban and regional regeneration, via a number of rather different case studies.Within these studies, the role of sport stadium development, franchise expansion and sports-fan (and anti-sport) activism is addressed and articulated with issues concerning, inter alia, public funding, environmental impact, urban infrastructure and citizen identity. The ‘sport in the city’ project commenced as a research symposium held at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand and number of the essays originate from this occasion. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Is batik cultural appropriation?
Batik is a traditional Indonesian textile art form that holds significant cultural and historical value. When individuals from outside of the Indonesian culture appropriate batik without understanding or respecting its cultural significance, it can be considered cultural appropriation. However, if people from other cultures engage with batik in a respectful and informed manner, such as by learning about its history and supporting the artisans who create it, it can be a form of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. It is important to approach the use of batik with sensitivity and respect for its origins.

What is cultural heterogeneity?

This diversity can manifest in various ways, such as through differences in language, religion, customs, traditions, and values.

Embracing and understanding cultural heterogeneity can lead to a more inclusive and enriched society, as it allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives from different cultural backgrounds.

Is this cultural appropriation?
Without knowing the specific context or details of the situation, it is difficult to definitively say whether something is cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation occurs when elements of a marginalized culture are adopted by members of a dominant culture without proper understanding or respect for the original culture. It is important to consider the power dynamics at play, the intentions behind the actions, and whether permission or credit was given to the original culture.

A Cultural History of Sport in Antiquity
A Cultural History of Sport in Antiquity covers the period 800 BCE to 600 CE.From the founding of the Olympics and Rome’s celebratory games, sport permeated the cultural life of Greco-Roman antiquity almost as it does our own.Gymnasiums, public baths, monumental arenas, and circuses for chariot racing were constructed, and athletic contests proliferated.Sports-themed household objects were very popular, whilst the exploits of individual athletes, gladiators, and charioteers were immortalized in poetry, monuments, and the mosaic floors of the wealthy.This rich sporting culture attests to the importance of leisure among the middle and upper classes of the Greco-Roman world, but by 600 CE rising costs, barbarian invasions, and Christianity had swept it all away. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact.The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport; sporting time and sporting space; products, training and technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion, exclusion and segregation; minds, bodies and identities; representation. Paul Christesen is Professor at Dartmouth College, USA.Charles Stocking is Associate Professor at Western University, Canada.

Cultural Shock
Popular culture is flourishing again, with a renewed interest in the ET and UFO phenomena.We are inundated with films, TV programmes and books, plus many conspiracy theories, dealing with the phenomena.Governments and security agencies are denying any interest in the issue, yet releasing masses of documents (mostly unreadable) after being compelled to, by the Freedom of Information Act.Such speculation and documentation in ancient writings suggests that an unearthly presence has been in Earth-space for many generations.The question of this situation must reach a culminating point sometime in the near future.This book is concerned with the cultural shock and social disorientation that would obviously occur with a sudden appearance en-mass of an alien race finally revealing themselves to humanity and how the people of Earth would react.

Cultural Economics
The cultural industries and their products and services make a significant contribution to the global economy and are seen as strategic sectors for sustainable economic growth.However, industries such as art, design, film, music, performing arts, publishing, television and radio, present particular challenges for economic analysis.They can be goods or services that are both public and private, protected by copyright and freely available, consumed and created, as well as susceptible to fashion and technological development. In this fascinating introduction to the cultural economy, Christiane Hellmanzik examines the market for creative work and reveals the economic relationships between human creativity, intellectual property and technology.Through the careful use of case studies, the book explores the core economic considerations such as supply and demand, competition and pricing, alongside macro trends such as globalization, digitalization and the internet, which are changing the industry’s business models.
