Focus on World Festivals: Contemporary case studies and
perspectives provides the reader with a contemporary overview of
festival activity from around the world based on over 30 case
studies drawn from every continent. Through its case-study focus
this book can be utilised in several ways; to examine different
types and genres of festivals across the world; to consider in
detail specific festivals in specific contexts; to look at
management and organisational issues in festival provision, and to
illustrate debates and theories pertaining to festivals throughout
the world. This book is a companion to 'Focus on Festivals', it is
written by a varied mix of academics, practitioners and cultural
commentators. It expands many of the central themes and issues to
reach a global understanding of festivals. The key themes this book
discusses are: * The nature of festivals, festivalisation and the
growth of festival provision around the world * Interest in
festival's potential economic, social, place-making and political
impacts * Festivals as 'glocal' players * The relationship between
festivals and tourism * The management and business of festivals in
different locations responding to differing social, political and
market contexts * The role of festivals in identity making
*Festivals as sites of participation, co-creation and experiences
It is a dynamic and indispensable text for students in arts and
festivals management, events, tourism, creative industries,
cultural and public policy, music industry and management courses
as well as for festival and events managers, public authorities and
existing and potential sponsors. Through the variety of festivals
illustrated in this book, the reader will discover that much about
the nature of festivals crosses borders, they are a recognisable
and growing part of societal and cultural delivery around the
globe; their impacts, economic, social and cultural are a major
driver in their development; their popularity with audiences, arts
organisations and performers is undiminished in this ever-expanding
cultural phenomenon of festivals..
