Fans refer to those locations as “Seichi” (i.e. “a holy place”). Since 2010, research on this new type of tourism (Seichi-junrei, also known as contents tourism) has increased. The relationships that emerge between the fans, content creators/producers, and local stakeholders through contents tourism are varied. This study examines the work Love Live! Sunshine!! and how Seichi-junrei was developed by the creators/producers since the project’s inception. Through an examination of the work and interviews, I assessed the relationships that developed between the involved parties (fans, creators/producers, and regional stakeholders), as well as the extent to which Seichi-junrei gained acceptance in the region. The development of Seichi-junrei related to Love Live! Sunshine!! marks a departure from prior examples of this phenomenon, since it has been essentially creator/producer-driven rather than fan-driven or the result of a collaboration between the creators/producers and regional stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":45137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Geography","volume":"39 1","pages":"375 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47188953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Leo Marx’s Machine in the Garden as well as Ebenezer Howard’s Garden Cities, Pereira’s work is evaluated for its ability to blend nature and artifice through his integration of landscape and architecture. Irvine is considered relative to existing planning ideologies of this era, including the development of suburban corporate campuses and auto-dominant suburbs. New developments and emerging growth enclaves reflected a desire to retain a sense of pastoralism, while accommodating the conveniences associated with modern living. The context of Marx and Howard, along with case studies of the mid-twentieth century help to frame the analysis of UCI’s landscape and architecture. Planning texts, diagrams, and photographs are considered in the evaluation of UC Irvine’s design and construction. Situating the campus as both town and garden, the analysis focuses on whether Pereira’s modernist intentions to create a new space where both campus and nature could evolve together, were fully met. As a semi-natural, intensely social space, UC Irvine’s development is laid out as a construction project, while serving the cultural needs of this mid-twentieth century academic community.","PeriodicalId":45137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Geography","volume":"39 1","pages":"313 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44133248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “Steel City” of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania exemplifies both deindustrial transition to “eds and meds” and vibrant small-scale production. Cultural geographers interpret place-based craft production as neolocalism, while economic geographers emphasize ways craft can be embedded in evolving economic regions. To understand how local craft production is situated within economic and urban change, this project asks: How do craft producers work – individually and collaboratively – to produce neolocal economies in formerly industrial Pittsburgh? Semi-structured interviews, workshop tours, and a mapping exercise with twenty craft producers and suppliers explored the nature of small-scale production, its embeddedness in place, and professional and supplier networking. The research reveals ways craft workers, suppliers, and organizations in Pittsburgh self-consciously adapt social and material legacies of manufacturing, cluster in particular neighborhoods, and network to build local supply chains and communities. While producers are unevenly engaged in industrial legacies and economies and bound up in wider processes like gentrification, craft labor and collaboration can help maintain traditions of production in places once defined by them.","PeriodicalId":45137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Geography","volume":"39 1","pages":"343 - 374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42543733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He outlines the process involved in identifying and re-examining narratives from real people, and discusses how he configured these into an award-winning novel that amounts to an alternate viewpoint of what transpired in Chile's Atacama Desert in the politically tumultuous early 1970s. In addition to credibly portraying historical events and actively engaging varied voices, he notes that capturing the character of place – its landscape, economy, and inhabitants – is essential in writing regional fiction. This transformational experience led him to the conclusion that fiction can reveal deeper truths than non-fiction.","PeriodicalId":45137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Geography","volume":"39 1","pages":"293 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42228420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sacred modernities define the ways in which sacredness is understood and engaged with under conditions of secular modernity, and in particular, how sacredness is experienced within a context of micro-regulated religious space. We illustrate these ideas through an empirical examination of how Singapore’s Hindu community engages with the idea of sacredness in and through the temple. By contrasting the experiences of Singaporean and non-Singaporean Hindus, we argue that Singapore’s temples offer an aestheticized experience of the sacred that is rational in its affects. Differential expectations and experiences of the sacred can reveal divisions within the Hindu community along Singaporean/migrant lines.","PeriodicalId":45137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Geography","volume":"39 1","pages":"182 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46057541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
