The issue features an interdisciplinary collection of seven articles covering a range of issues, including the success/failure of the Olympics for various stakeholders, urban development strategies, media narratives, online political discourses, the anti-Olympic movement, Olympic reality and fantasy in the anime Akira, and a theoretical critique of capitalist realism, as well as two commentaries critiquing the costs and corruption of the Games and Japan's treatment of migrants in the name of Olympic preparations.
