An Anthropology of Crosslocations
An Anthropology of Crosslocations introduces a radical new approach to understanding location. The co-authors show that the question of where something is depends on how places are mutually connected and disconnected. The location of a place can be established by different logics, such as national borders, ecosystems, or economic zones. These different ways of classifying the relative value and significance of a place coexist and overlap: for example, national borders are regularly crosscut by ecosystems. By thinking of 'location' as a process defined by several different coexisting locating regimes, the book showcases a fresh way to think about the multiple and overlapping connections and d...

Locating the Mediterranean
Until today, anthropological studies of locality have taken primary interest in local subjects leading local lives in local communities. Through a shift of conceptual emphasis from locality to location, the present volume departs from previous preoccupations with identity and belonging. Instead, Locating the Mediterranean brings together ethnographic examinations of processes that make locations and render them meaningful. In doing so, it stimulates debates on the interplay between location and region-making in history as well as anthropology. The volume’s deeply empirical contributions illustrate how historical, material, legal, religious, economic, political, and social connections and s...
Culture and Sustainability in European Cities
European cities are contributing to the development of a more sustainable urban system that is capable of coping with economic crises, ecological challenges and social disparities in different nation-states and regions throughout Europe. This book reveals in a pluralistic way how European cities are generating new approaches to their sustainable development, and the special contribution of culture to these processes. It addresses both a deficit of attention to small and medium-sized cities in the framework of European sustainable development, and an underestimation of the role of culture, artistic expression and creativity for integrated development of the city as a prerequisite to urban sus...

Urban Bridges, Global Capital(s)
'Claire Launchbury and Megan C. MacDonald’s edited collection of essays offers a series of comparative analyses of the literary and filmic texts, contexts, and crossings of the Mediterranean region. [...] The book immediately illustrates the breadth, depth, and interdependenc of what has become known as Mediterranean Studies. The collection expands the borders of the Medite rranean space, and posits it as a place of constant identitarian and linguistic interrogation for both those who occupy it and those who document it. [...] This collection will be a valuable resource for scholars who are looking for a contemporary and comprehensive entry point into Mediterranean Studies. [...] With its focus on transnationalisms, genre and border crossings, and complicated identities in the constantly reinvented and reinventing space of the Mediterranean, Launchbury and MacDonald’s collection offers a wealth of literary and cultural routes to follow.' Maria Vendetti, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
