Festivals and the Cultural Public Sphere provides the first major
social scientific study of these festivals in the wake of their
explosion in popularity over the past decade. It explores the
cultural significance of contemporary arts festivals from their
location within the cultural public sphere, examining them as sites
for contestation and democratic debate, and also identifying them
as examples of a particular aesthetic cosmopolitanism. The book
approaches contemporary festivals as relatively autonomous social
texts that need interpretation and contextualisation. This
perspective, combined with a diversified set of theoretical
approaches and research methods, and guided by a common thematic
rationale, places the volume squarely within some of the most
debated topics in current social sciences. Furthermore, the
multifaceted nature of festivals allows for unusual but useful
connections to be made across several fields of social inquiry.
This timely edited collection brings together contributions from
key figures across the social sciences, and proves to be valuable
reading for undergraduate students, postgraduates, and
professionals working within the areas of contemporary social
theory, cultural theory, and visual culture.
