Celebrated as a flexible and exciting new form of place making, pop-up culture includes temporary or nomadic sites such as cinemas, container malls, supper clubs, even pop-up housing and is now ubiquitous in cities across the world. But what are the stakes of the 'pop-up' city? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTraversing a wealth of fascinating case studies, \u003ci\u003eRebranding Precarity\u003c\/i\u003e shows how pop-up works to rebrand insecurity and encourages us to embrace precarity as the new normal. Revealing how urban crisis has particular temporal and spatial characteristics, defined by uncertainty, instability, fractures and gaps, it illuminates how those markers of crisis have been optimistically reimagined over the last few years, through an examination of seven logics that rebrand insecurity including within housing, labour economies and gentrifying areas. In doing so, it paints a frightening picture of how crisis conditions have become not just accepted, but are in fact desired, in today's metropolis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ella Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786999811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786999818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Ella Harris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014055440639,"sku":"9781786999818","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3f3d03c-37a1-4744-800c-7935bfa242bd.jpg?v=1767746445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebranding-precarity-ella-harris-9781786999818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
