The Festivalization of Culture explores the links between various
local and global cultures, communities, identities and lifestyle
narratives as they are both constructed and experienced in the
festival context. Drawing on a wide range of case studies from
Australia and Europe, festivals are examined as sites for the
performance and critique of lifestyle, identity and cultural
politics; as vehicles for the mobilization and cementation of local
and global communities; and as spatio-temporal events that inspire
and determine meaning in people's lives. Investigating the manner
in which festivals are no longer merely periodic, cultural,
religious or historical events within communities, but rather a
popular means through which citizens consume and experience
culture, this book also sheds light on the increasing diversity of
contemporary societies and the role played by festivals as sites of
cohesion, cultural critique and social mobility. As such, this book
will be of interest to those working in areas such as the
sociology, consumption and commodification of culture, social and
cultural geography, anthropology, cultural studies and popular
music studies.
