    “Global Festival Culture”

    International Conference

    18 July 2020 – London, UK

    organised by

    London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research

    and

    Festival Culture, Research and Education Network

    Global festival culture is a one-day inter-, multi-, trans-, and cross-disciplinary conference that aims to explore the creative practices, social benefits, economic development, tourism, multiculturalism, diversity, local community involvement, partnerships, religion and music entrepreneurial networks that festivals offer.

    There are many festivals around the world; they all manifest in varying ways and all possess their own social, religious and cultural practices. Festivals both past and present – be it folk, religion, cultural or community-based – illuminate discourses of hegemony, homogeneity, race, politics, nationalism, identity and religion etc. As an emerging discipline, it is important to examine festivals from varying perspectives to understand, broaden and articulate the scope of festival studies.

    The conference aims to bring together researchers, costume and craft makers, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, organisers, policymakers and stakeholders. We are extending this invitation to academics from across disciplines, postdocs and postgraduates at all stages in their research, as well as to practitioners seeking to give creative demonstrations or performances.

    We welcome contributions that explore questions such as: How do festivals transform and how much are they a part of our everyday life? What do festivals tell us about history and ourselves? What can we learn about the festive life of the Middle Ages? And what is the significance of Mikhail Bakhtin’s depiction of the festive culture of the Middle Ages in relation to festivity and celebration today?

    • Festival and the community
