节日和文化公共领域在过去十年中这些节日迅速流行之后，首次对这些节日进行了重大的社会科学研究。它从当代艺术节在文化公共领域的位置探讨了它们的文化意义，将它们视为争论和民主辩论的场所，并将它们视为特定审美世界主义的例子。
这本书将当代节日视为相对独立的社会文本，需要解释和语境化。这种观点与多样化的理论方法和研究方法相结合，并以共同的主题原理为指导，将本书直接置于当前社会科学中一些最具争议的主题范围内。此外，节日的多面性使得社会探究的多个领域能够建立不寻常但有用的联系。
这本及时编辑的文集汇集了社会科学领域关键人物的贡献，对于当代社会理论、文化理论和视觉文化领域的本科生、研究生和专业人士来说是有价值的读物。
Festivals and the Cultural Public Sphere provides the first major social scientific study of these festivals in the wake of their explosion in popularity over the past decade. It explores the cultural significance of contemporary arts festivals from their location within the cultural public sphere, examining them as sites for contestation and democratic debate, and also identifying them as examples of a particular aesthetic cosmopolitanism.
The book approaches contemporary festivals as relatively autonomous social texts that need interpretation and contextualisation. This perspective, combined with a diversified set of theoretical approaches and research methods, and guided by a common thematic rationale, places the volume squarely within some of the most debated topics in current social sciences. Furthermore, the multifaceted nature of festivals allows for unusual but useful connections to be made across several fields of social inquiry.
This timely edited collection brings together contributions from key figures across the social sciences, and proves to be valuable reading for undergraduate students, postgraduates, and professionals working within the areas of contemporary social theory, cultural theory, and visual culture.
