Zusammenfassung:"Historically the urban festival served as an occasion for affirming shared convictions and identities in the life of the city. Whether religious or civic in nature, these events provided tangible expressions of social, cultural, political and religious cohesion, often reaffirming a particular shared ethos within very diverse urban landscapes. This book examines how festival can be used as a lens to examine the relationship between city and citizen and questions whether this is fixed through time, or has been transformed as a response to changes in the modern urban condition. Through contributed chapters, it looks at the multi-layered nature of many festivals; in the way they incorporate both orderly (authoritative) and disorderly (subversive) components, revealing new themes of how the civic nature of urban space is utilised through festival to represent ideas of belonging. Recent political and social gatherings also raise questions such as what is the relationship of such events to 'ritual' and whether traditional practices can serve as meaningful references in the twenty-first century."--Provided by publisher
