Cultural Mega-Events : Opportunities and Risks for Heritage Cities
Mega-events have long been used by cities as a strategy to secure global recognition and attract future economic investment.However, while cultural mega-events like the European Capital of Culture have become increasingly popular, cities have begun questioning the traditional model of other events such as the Olympic Games with many candidate cities cancelling bids in recent years.This approach to planning and developing cities through mega-events introduces a broad range of physical effects and nuanced institutional changes for cities, particularly for the more sensitive heritage areas of cities.This book explores these issues by first examining the dynamics of cities’ attempts to reduce overall costs and increase the sustainability of these large events by further embedding them within the existing fabric of the city and second by studying in depth the impact on the heritage of host cities.This book investigates three World Heritage Cities: Genoa, Liverpool and Istanbul, each of which have hosted the European Capital of Culture and introduced a variety of opportunities and risks for their heritage.The book highlights the potential benefits and challenges of integrating event and heritage planning to provide lessons that can help future historic cities and heritage decision makers better prepare for such events.

Representations of Islam in the News : A Cross-Cultural Analysis
The representation of Islam is unquestionably a critical test for comparing journalistic reporting across countries and cultures.The Islamic religion has weight in international reporting (defining what we termed “foreign Islam”), but it is also the religion of numerically important minority groups residing in Europe (“national Islam”).The first part of the book is “setting the scene.” Three chapters provide insights in dominant patterns of the representation of Islam as detected by various authors and studies involved with Islam representation in Europe.Part two, the core section of the book, contributes to the development of the field of comparative journalism studies by comparing several countries and six media systems in Western Europe: the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (Flanders), the French-speaking part of Belgium (Wallonia), the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the U.K.Part three of this book presents two reception studies, one qualitative and the other quantitative.Equally important, as the bulk of attention goes to Western Europe, is the extension towards the representation of Muslims and Islam outside Western Europe.Part four of the book is devoted to the representation of Islam in some of the so-called BRICs-countries: Russia, China, and India.

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.

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.
