| Synopsis: |
Festivals and events are of enormous significance to many communities around the world. They can have historic, religious, cultural and traditional significance, and are also important parts of community building.This book focuses on these small scale, non-metropolitan events (i.e. rural, regional and peri-urban) to explore the complex relationships between place, community and identity and the ways in which festival events bring these into being. By drawing on the notion of `encounter' this book examines how festivals and events can be seen primarily as spaces where different people meet. This notion of encounter helps to understand how conviviality and social relations are developed, and what this then means in terms of social cohesion and social justice. It also draws on current theoretical and methodological approaches that can tell us about the role of festivals in contemporary life, and includes the sensual approach, the geographies of affect and emotion, the notion of the right to the city and non-representation theory.The book brings together these perspectives and examines their relevance in the community events context, identifying and discussing theoretical frameworks drawn from (including but not limited to) human geography, sociology, anthropology, leisure studies and urban planning as well as tourism and event studies. For these reasons, Festival Encounters will be a valuable read for students and academics working on a wide range of disciplines. |
