Despite their ubiquity and cultural prominence, the academic study
of arts festivals has long been neglected. The burgeoning festivals
industry is, however, firmly embedded in both the arts funding and
weekly calendar of European cities, and there is no doubt that
festivals are fast becoming a defining feature of urban life in the
twenty-first century. An assessment of their nature and impact is
more pressing than ever before. The contributors to this volume
explore the modern urban festival and the difference it makes to
the experience and management of diversity in the city. Their
research reveals an unsettling coupling of the celebration of local
diversity with institutional amnesia, in which the memory of a
festival hardly ever outlasts its funding. This book documents a
key phenomenon of our time, the supplanting of community-based
remembering with the repetitive structures of events whose historic
and interpretative depth is lost amid a spiraling velocity of
'festivalization'.
