In this light, community events have the potential to create positive and negative social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts within the community across a wide variety of genres and platforms. This book offers a deeper and more critical insight into the relationships, dynamics and planning processes of festivals and events and the impact this has upon authenticity, cultural consumption, and the local communities they serve. It does so by looking at a range of key debates in power theory, event planning and design, event construction, experience and meaning, authenticity, sustainability, social inclusion, accessibility and sponsorship engagement. International case studies are embedded within the chapters, examining the role of stakeholders, local communities, organisers, local governments and infrastructure. This critical event studies text is interdisciplinary and will make valuable reading for students and researchers who are interested in the relationships and dynamics involved in the construction and planning of festivals and events, their immediate impact and their significance for the future"--<br/>Format: Books<br/>Ideological, social and cultural aspects of events [electronic resource] / edited by Omar Moufakkir and Tomas Pernecky.ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1503292024-05-21T12:13:50Z2024-05-21T12:13:50Zby Moufakkir, Omar.<br/>Call Number 658.456 IDE<br/>Publication Date 2014<br/>Summary There is an ever growing importance of events in modern society and until now existing literature on events has been dominated by the economic perspective.
