ABSTRACT
How do gambling spaces generate cultural practices and identities of work finance, and play?
Spaces of gambling have proliferated in neoliberal societies over the past two decades with the expansion of casino resorts and other electronic gaming machine venues, betting shops, as well as online spaces including internet casinos, betting exchanges, and social gambling apps. How are borders of local, regional, national, and transnational space marked and transcended by processes of gambling investment? How are gambling spaces both related to and distinguished from spaces of finance and play? How do gambling spaces shape gendered identities and relationships? How are relationships between historical spaces and practices of settler colonialism refracted through the iconography of gambling spaces? How do gambling spaces produce and/or threaten local, regional, and national forms of cultural heritage? How does finopower work through and within gambling spaces?
