The Routledge Handbook of Events explores and critically evaluates
the debates and controversies associated with the rapidly expanding
domain of Event Studies. It brings together leading specialists
from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, to provide a
state-of-the-art review on the evolution of the subject. The first
edition was a landmark study which examined how event research had
evolved and developed from a range of different social science
subject areas and disciplines. The Handbook was the first critique
of the extent to which the subject had developed into a major area
of social science inquiry. This second edition has been fully
updated to reflect crucial developments in the field and includes
brand new sections on ever-important aspects of Event Studies such
as: anthropology, hospitality, seasonality, knowledge management,
accessibility, diversity and human rights, as well as new studies
on 'the eventful city' and the benefits of events in older life.
The book is divided into four inter-related sections. Section 1
introduces and evaluates the concept of events. Section 2
critically reviews the relationship between events and other
disciplines such as the contribution of economics, psychology and
geography to the critical discourse of Event Studies. Section 3
focuses on the business, operational and strategic management of
events, while the final section crucially focuses on critical
events as a new paradigm within the burgeoning literature on
Events. It offers the reader a comprehensive and critical synthesis
of this field, conveying the latest thinking associated with events
research, edited by two of the leading scholars in the field. The
text will provide an invaluable resource for all those with an
interest in Events Studies, encouraging dialogue that will span
across disciplinary boundaries and other areas of study. It is an
essential guide for anyone interested in events research.
