Description

Explore the social impact of contemporary arts festivals with this major study from Routledge. As festivals have seen an explosion in popularity over the last decade, this book provides a necessary social scientific examination of their role in modern society. This text looks at how arts festivals function within the cultural public sphere. It examines these events as spaces for democratic debate and social contestation, while also identifying them as expressions of a specific aesthetic cosmopolitanism. By treating contemporary festivals as autonomous social texts, the book offers a deep look at how these events require both interpretation and contextualization to be fully understood. Whether you are a student of sociology or a professional in the arts and photography field, this Routledge Advances in Sociology title offers a fresh perspective on how cultural events shape our public life and social discourse.
