Book excerpt: Within events management, events are commonly categorised within two axes, size and content. Along the size axis events range between the small scale and local, through major events, which garner greater media interest, to internationally significant hallmark and mega events such as the Edinburgh Festival and the Tour de France. Content is frequently divided into three forms – culture, sport or business. However, such frameworks overlook and depoliticise a significant variety of events, those more accurately construed as protest. This book brings together new research and theories from around the world and across sociology, leisure studies, politics and cultural studies to develop a new critical pedagogy and critical theory of events. It is the first research monograph that deals explicitly with the concept of critical event studies (CES), the idea that it is impossible to explore and understand events without understanding the wider social, cultural and political contexts. It addresses questions such as can the occupation and reclamation of specific spaces by activists be understood as events within its framework? And is the activity of activists in these spaces a leisure activity? If those, and other similar activities, can be read as events and leisure, what does admitting them into the scope of events management and leisure studies mean for our understanding of them and how the study of events management is to be conceptualised? This title will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students on events management and related courses and scholars interested in understanding the ways in which events are constructed by the social, the cultural and the political.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of events and well-being, adopting a much-needed critical approach to the study of events. It uses empirical case studies to help us better understand how events foster positive well-being or counter negative well-being for event organisers, participants, spectators, volunteers and even non-attending local residents. While researchers have long understood socialisation as the major motivation to attend contemporary festivals and events, it is only just being acknowledged that well-being is also a key motivator. Those researching in the field of event studies are yet to clearly articulate "the how, why, where, and impacts of socialisation." This multidisciplinary book draws together empirical research across a range of event types and sizes, from music festivals to mega sports events, to provide a nuanced understanding of their contribution to the well-being of individuals and communities. Case studies are drawn from around the world and apply a diverse range of theoretical lenses to the conceptualisation of well-being as it applies to events and methodologies used to achieve research aims and objectives. This significant volume will be valuable reading for students and academics in the fields of sport studies, critical event studies, queer studies, cultural studies, tourism, music, sociology and end-of-life studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festival and Event Tourism Impacts provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the multi-faceted impacts that festival and events have on a host community, whether positive or negative, and offers recommendations for communities for the successful management of this kind of tourism. Opening chapters define festival and event tourism impact concepts utilized in the field and their evolution throughout the years, followed by an exploration of the current issues facing communities. The second part discusses sustainability and environmental issues that affect destinations and communities as a result of festival and event impacts. Subsequent chapters outline further impacts and finally address cutting-edge event tourism development and impact management strategies and considerations such as innovative management approaches, sustainability, and social responsibility, for example, and identify future trends and issues within a multidisciplinary global perspective. A variety of geographical locations are exemplified throughout as well as a range of diverse event types including the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco, Pope Francis’ visit to Mauritius in 2019, and the 29th Summer Universiade in Taiwan, among many others. Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of highly regarded academics from around the world, this will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers in Tourism, Hospitality, Events, and related fields.

This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural events and festivals contribute to the recognition of the organisers, places and creative workers. Festivals are events that take place on a regular basis, are dedicated to a specific topic or group of stakeholders and aimed at attracting visitors. Measuring the success of a festival is a multidimensional construct because it is built by the views of the audience, exhibitors, media, financiers, associates and the organisers themselves. This scientific book was created driven by the desire to establish a methodology for measuring the satisfaction with EU-China festivals. This scientific book contributes to the study of the specifics of international festivals aimed at the publishing sector and analyses the 2nd EU-China International Literary Festival held in 2018 in the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Suzhou. The EU-China Literary Festival is conceived as the interaction of European and Chinese authors with Chinese audiences and the promotion of European culture in Chinese metropolises. The EU-China International Literary Festival is held twice a year in China, and a number of events bring together Chinese and European Union authors. The Festival programme is aimed at Chinese audiences, and events take place in two Chinese cities. The aim of the scientific book is to present the process of developing a research methodology for measuring the success of international festivals, establish preconditions for a broader application of the established and tested methodology, and to ask the audience and experts whether the Festival has achieved its goal, mission, and vision. The research methodology measures the views of three groups of stakeholders of The EU-China International Literary Festival (n = 72): Chinese Festival visitors and two groups of authors representing experts for the Festival under consideration (i.e. European and Chinese authors). As the audience was able to follow the Festival at the venue (n = 2,305) or online (n = 110,710), views on the Festival were collected from members of all aforementioned groups, they were analysed and guidelines and recommendations for raising the quality/success of the Festival were developed. The proposed methodology represents a useful material for future researchers of festival phenomena in developing a multidimensional instrument to measure the success of a festival. By applying the proposed methodology, researchers are able to find out the views of the authors (exhibitors), the audience and the organisers of the Festival on the festival dimensions. This makes an additional contribution to the promotion and popularisation of EU literature and authors, the chosen theme of the Festival, the group of stakeholders, and encourages cross- cultural cooperation.

Book excerpt: Festivals and events vary from small, neighbourhood celebrations through to mega gatherings, and both can be attractive to tourists. They come with their own unique challenges and opportunities however, which means destinations must carefully consider their responsibility to local people, and host them in a sustainable manner. Covering important issues such as the marketing, branding and promotion of events, this book also unravels the opportunities and challenges associated with sustainable festivals and events. It uses an array of case studies and a global author team to provide an important resource for tourism and event researchers and professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times, festivals around the world have grown in number due to the increased recognition of their importance for tourism, branding and economic development. Festivals hold multifaceted roles in society and can be staged to bring positive economic impact, for the competitive advantage they lend a destination or to address social objectives. Studies on festivals have appeared in a wide range of disciplines, and consequently, much of the research available is highly fragmented. This handbook brings this knowledge together in one volume, offering a comprehensive evaluation of the most current research, debates and controversies surrounding festivals. It is divided into nine sections that cover a wide range of theories, concepts and contexts, such as sustainability, festival marketing and management, the strategic use of festivals and their future. Featuring a variety of disciplinary, cultural and national perspectives from an international team of authors, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers of event management and will be of interest to scholars in the fields of anthropology, sociology, geography, marketing, management, psychology and economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the festival and event industry has seen large scale growth and extensive government support as a result of objectives to enhance and project the image of place and leverage positive sponsorship and regeneration opportunities. As we move deeper into austerity measures prompted by economic recession, community festivals and events as a sacred or profane time of celebration can be considered even more important than ever before. This book for the first time explores the role and importance of ‘community’, ‘culture’ and its impact through festivals and events. Split into two distinct sections, the first introduces key themes and concepts, contextualises local traditions and culture, and investigates how festivals and events can act as a catalyst for tourism and create a sense of community. It then questions the social and political nature of festivals and community events through examining their ownership. The second section focuses on communities themselves, seeking to examine and discuss key emerging themes in community event studies such as; the role of diaspora, imagined communities, pride and identity, history, producing and consuming space and place, authenticity, and multi-ethnic communities. Examples are drawn from Portugal, the Dominican Republic, the USA, Malaysia, Malta, Finland and Australia making this book truly international. This significant volume will be valuable reading for students and academics across the fields of Event, Tourism and Hospitality studies as well as other social science disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on events-related research marks a watershed in the development of a "Nordic School" of festival and event research. Each of the chapters presents a new and interesting approach to the study of events, in terms of methods, perspectives or content. It is mostly rooted in management theory but also incorporating other perspectives that enhance our understanding of the phenomena. Implications for real-world applications in tourism, hospitality, and community development are also at the fore. The scholarship is comprehensive, not focused on only tourism or economic aspects. Management theory, including stakeholder management, social networks, and institutionalization processes is being applied. Attention is being given to the multiple roles festivals and events play in society, and to evaluation of their worth and impacts. Innovative methods are being developed to examine event experiences, innovation processes, and success factors. There is now a critical mass of scholars in the Nordic countries that share a strong interest in event studies, and they are engaged in collaborative research, making it an appealing and innovative region for other event students and researchers to visit. It can be expected that the Nordic school will take an increasingly important place in the development of event studies, which is now truly global in terms of scholarship and university degree programs. This book was originally published as a special issue of Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism.

This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festivals are events that are planned in advance and that provide an opportunity to network, discuss, and present projects/products/services, but also to popularise festival themes with the possibility of social and cultural interaction between stakeholders taking part in the festival. Festival stakeholders can be observed through several groups, i.e. organisers, participants (exhibitors), visitors, sponsors, volunteers, policy makers, media and the public. Festivals and events are often applied by stakeholders in the creative industry sector. According to Throsby’s concentric circles model (2008), together with music and visual and performing arts, literature is a fundamental cultural expression that brings achievements of the greatest artistic value. The aim of the book Research Study on Festival and Events is to examine the role and satisfaction of a large number of stakeholders in an international festival. In addition, the results are intended to encourage the process of developing and validating a research methodology for researching festivals on different samples. The research study examines the specifics of an international festival aimed at the publishing sector and analyses the 3rd EU-China International Literary Festival. The EU-China International Literary Festival is held twice a year in China, and a number of events are attended by Chinese and European Union authors, and authors from China and the European Union take part in a number of events. The Festival programme is aimed at Chinese audiences, and events take place in two Chinese cities. Previous research indicates the existence of a research gap in the research on festival events which is reflected in the failure to simultaneously examine multiple stakeholder groups at a selected festival. This research study presents the results of three separate studies conducted after the 3rd EU-China International Literary Festival (n = 78): Chinese Festival visitors and two groups of authors representing experts of the Literary Festival (i.e. European and Chinese authors). As the audience was able to follow the Festival at the venue (n = 4,288) or online (n = 112,059), an online questionnaire was prepared for both groups and attitudes towards the Festival events of both groups of visitors were collected and analysed. After the analysis of research findings, guidelines and recommendations were derived to improve the quality/success of the festival. The research methodology can be used in the study of festival phenomena and measuring the success of a festival from the perspective of different stakeholders. The methodology and findings summarised in this research study make an additional contribution to the promotion and popularisation of EU literature and authors in order to encourage cross-cultural cooperation. 摘要 文化节是提前策划的系列活动,提供了一个交流、讨论和展示项目/产品/服务的机会, 同时通过参与活动的利益相关者之间的互动,扩大文化节的影响力。文化节利益相关者 包括诸多群体,如组织者、参与者(参展方)、参观者、赞助商、志愿者、政策制定 者、媒体和公众。创意产业利益相关者经常举办文化节和活动。根据 Throsby 同心圆模 型(2008),与音乐、视觉和表演艺术一起,文学作为一种基本的文化表现形式,能够 实现艺术价值的最大化。 本书旨在研究国际文化节中利益相关者发挥的作用和其对项目的满意度。此外,研究目 标还包括促进形成适用于不同文化节样本的研究方法。本书有助于促进国际文化节出版 业方面的研究,同时本书分析了第三届中欧国际文学节的效果。中欧国际文学节每年在 中国举办两次,邀请欧洲和中国作家参与其丰富的文化活动。中欧国际文学节的目标受 众是中国观众,活动通常在中国两个城市线下举办。 过往研究存在的问题是缺乏对选定的文化节进行利益相关者的深入研究。本研究分析了 第三届中欧国际文学节涉及的三组利益相关者(n = 78):文学节的中国观众及参加文 学节的两组作家代表(即欧洲和中国作者)。由于观众既可以在现场(n = 4,288)也 可以在线上(n = 112,059)参与文学节,本研究设置了在线问卷,用于收集和分析两 类观众群体对文学节活动的评价。 分析研究数据所产生的指导方针和建议,有助于提高文化节的质量/效果。本研究方法 适用于从不同利益相关者的角度评估文化节的效果。本研究总结的方法及成果,有助于 推广欧盟文学和作家,从而对跨文化合作产生积极的影响。 关键词:文化节利益相关者,创意产业,研究报告,国际文化节

Book excerpt: Many books exist on various aspects of event management, reflecting growing academic and professional interest, but there has not been a book written on Event Studies until now. As the event management field expands, there is a growth in demand for advanced texts, particularly with a multidisciplinary research and theoretical orientation. Event Studies is the first text to embrace this new direction in the field of event management providing: students and practitioners with an explanation of why planned events are important from a social/cultural, economic and environmental perspective. readers with an understanding of how various disciplines and other professional fields view planned events, and the contributions they make to understanding events. research students with a detailed evaluation of research issues and challenges, and of methodologies and theories applicable to event studies. The bibliography is extensive and numerous research examples are provided. professionals with a tool to expand their knowledge well beyond the art and science of producing events to include the philosophical and scientific foundations of event studies. For the event management student, and for professionals, Event Studies provides the necessary body of knowledge and theoretical /methodological underpinnings on the subject of planned events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates and builds on Alan Clarke (1956–2021) and Allan Jepson’s 2015 book Exploring Community Festivals and Events. It showcases how far the study of community festivals and events has come in the intervening years, and in so doing it is a response to recent calls for researchers to take a more critical approach to event studies. This is an interdisciplinary book that draws together empirical research across a wide range of community event types, sizes and within diverse communities. Chapters in this book are grouped into four themes that highlight the breadth and depth of work being done: reviving and maintaining tradition(s); a focus on belonging; challenges and tensions; and innovations in teaching and research. Another of its core strengths is its international perspective – the book encompasses research from around the world including Turkey, Portugal, Greece, India, the UK, the US, Austria and New Zealand. There is also a diverse range of theoretical lenses applied to the study of community events, and some innovative methodologies used to achieve research aims and objectives. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of critical event studies, cultural studies, place-making, tourism, music, sociology and geography. Several chapters also provide insights and key learnings for those lecturing and working in event management and industry professionals.
