Barbara Grabher works as Lecturer in Event Studies at the University of Brighton, UK. As a trained anthropologist with a specialisation in gender studies, she researches event-based regeneration processes through a lens of critical event studies. Combining perspectives of event, gender and urban studies, she published the monograph Doing Gender in Events: Feminist Perspectives on Critical Event Studies (Routledge) in 2022. In her current project Between Culture and Salt, she considers the notion of the Anthropocene and its conceptual and empirical potential for the field of event studies in regards to the case study of Bad Ischl-Salzkammergut European Capital of Culture 2024.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is a multidisciplinary volume that explores the social, cultural, and political significance of the infrastructures that underpin events. While traditional event management often treats infrastructure as a purely operational necessity (e.g., power cables, barriers, toilets), this book uses it as an analytical lens to investigate wider societal impacts. Core Themes and Structure: The book is divided into three primary sections that reframe the relationship between events and their material or social frameworks: - Infrastructuring Space [examines the physical and spatial relationships between major events and their host cities; it critiques "white elephant" infrastructures- expensive, underused facilities left behind by mega-events - and the neoliberal urbanism that drives them]; - Event Infrastructures as Expressions of in/Equality [investigates how infrastructure can reinforce or challenge social hierarchies; topics include the "exclusive" VIP experience at UK music festivals and how strategic "infrastructuring" can transform attitudes in settings like refugee camps]; - Events as Infrastructure [flips the perspective to argue that events themselves can function as "soft infrastructure" for urban development, learning, and digital community-building]. Key Case Studies: The volume includes a diverse range of international examples, such as: - Formula 1 street circuits and the conflicts they create in urban spaces; - The Tumaini Festival in Malawi's Dzaleka Refugee Camp; - Mega-events in Spain, Argentina, and Italy; - The Maltese Festa and its evolution in the digital era. The work is intended for researchers and advanced students in fields such as critical event studies, sociology, geography, and urban planning. Nº de ref. del artículo: 012596
