Download or read book Celebration Capitalism and the Olympic Games written by Jules Boykoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olympic Games have become the world’s greatest media and marketing event—a global celebration of exceptional athletics gilded with corporate cash. Huge corporations vie for association with the "Olympic Image" in the hope of gaining a worldwide marketing audience of billions. In this provocative critical study of the contemporary Olympics, Jules Boykoff argues that the Games have become a massive planned economy designed to shield the rich from risk while providing them with a spectacle to treasure. Placing political economy at the center of the analysis, and drawing on interdisciplinary research in sociology, politics, geography, history, and economics, Boykoff develops an innovative theory of "celebration capitalism", the manipulation of state actors as partners that drives us towards public–private partnerships in which the public pays and the private profits. He argues that the Athens Games in 2004 marked the full emergence of celebration capitalism, with London 2012 representing its quintessential expression, characterized by a state of exception, unfettered commercialism, repression of dissent, questionable sustainability claims, and the complicity of the mainstream media. Controversial, challenging, and forthright, this book opens up a fascinating new avenue for understanding the contemporary Olympics in the context of global capitalist society. It is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the Olympic Games, the relationship between sport and society, or global politics and culture.

Download or read book Mega Events in the Complex City. A Case Study of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece written by Manuela Stögerer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2, Aalborg University, language: English, abstract: Mega-Events, as the Olympic Games, are generators of urban change and associated with positive impact for the hosting city at first sight. At the same time real-life examples demonstrate that these hallmark events leave a physical imprint and commonly a challenging long lasting legacy to deal with. The project "Mega-Events in the complex city" identifies the challenges that need to be considered, when making changes in the built environment while hosting a Mega-Event. The aim is to provide recommendations for further hosting cities in order to minimize the negative consequences a Mega-Event may entail. The project takes its starting point in examining the impact that a Mega-Event has on the city. The city as a complex system already bears a number of existing conflicts. Placing a Mega-Event into this complex system creates additional challenges with contradicting issues between short term vs. long term planning, large-scaled demands vs. local needs, old vs. new built environment as well as expectations vs. reality. Those challenges are approached in the case study of Athens Olympics 2004 to examine the burdens a city has to face after hosting a Mega-Event. Further, best practice examples of the four cities London, Barcelona, Vancouver and Los Angeles, who already hosted the Olympics in the past are presented in order to show an alternative way of dealing with the occurring challenges. Through investigating positive and negative past cases of Olympics, recommendations for further hosting cities are developed. The recommendations comprise that Mega-Events should be used as driving force for the overall cities strategy and evince long term planning. Thus, urban renewal can be affected positively and the after use of related large scale facilities can be ensured, which reduces the financial burden for the hosting city. Furthermore, the social shadow a Mega-Event may entail can be countered by integrating the needs of the local community. Considering these recommendations should help to lead to a positive reputation of the Mega-Event and enables the cities to fulfil their hopes and expectations related to the Mega-Event.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Large-scale mass gatherings, such as the Olympic Games, represent significant challenges for the entire health sector of host countries. Emerging global public health threats of natural or deliberate nature increase considerably the health and safety vulnerability of mass gatherings. Major areas of public health responsibility include health care capacity and mass-casualty preparedness; disease surveillance and outbreak response; environmental health and food safety; public information and health promotion; public health preparedness and response to incidents potentially involving the deliberate use of explosives, biological and chemical agents or radionuclear material; and leadership, operations and unified command. This book comprehensively and systematically presents the experience of and lessons learned from the public health aspects of the preparations and conduct of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Documenting this experience can be a source of valuable information and knowledge for governments at all levels and communities in building their capacity for not only large-scale events but also preparing to deal with the avian influenza pandemic threat or other emergencies such as flooding and phenomena often associated with climate change." - t.p. verso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 7.5, Leeds Metropolitan University (Carnagie), course: Masters in Event Management, language: English, abstract: The major purpose of this study is to analyse the major impact that an Olympic Games ceremony has on the branding of a city and of a nation, looking to take the current level of research and improving on this with an enhanced analysis of the subject using a case study approach. The study has focused on one main research question. What is the impact of an Olympic Ceremony on the image of a host city? This question was further explored with three core components which were analysed and which included the discovery of the extent to which an Olympic Games ceremony could help to create an image of a specific city / country, the importance ascribed to Olympic Games ceremonies and how they are deemed to be vital in leading to rising tourist numbers as well as a consideration of the major short and long-term socio-economic impacts of an Olympic Games ceremony on a host city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olympic Games have had two lives—the first lasted for a millennium with celebrations every four years at Olympia to honour the god Zeus. The second has blossomed over the past century, from a simple start in Athens in 1896 to a dazzling return to Greece in 2004. Onward to the Olympics provides both an overview and an array of insights into aspects of the Games’ history. Leading North American archaeologists and historians of sport explore the origins of the Games, compare the ancient and the modern, discuss the organization and financing of such massive athletic festivals, and examine the participation ,or the troubling lack of it, by women. Onward to the Olympics bridges the historical divide between the ancient and the modern and concludes with a thought-provoking final essay that attempts to predict the future of the Olympics over the twenty-first century.
