节日和活动对世界各地的许多社区都具有巨大的意义。它们可以具有历史、宗教、文化和传统意义，也是社区建设的重要组成部分。本书重点关注这些小规模的非大都市活动（即农村、地区和城郊），探讨地点、社区和身份之间的复杂关系以及节日活动如何实现这些关系。通过利用“相遇”的概念，本书探讨了如何将节日和活动主要视为不同人相遇的空间。这种相遇的概念有助于我们理解欢乐和社会关系是如何发展的，以及这对社会凝聚力和社会正义意味着什么。它还借鉴了当前的理论和方法论方法，可以告诉我们节日在当代生活中的作用，其中包括感性方法、影响和情感的地理学、城市权的概念和非表征理论。本书汇集了这些观点，并探讨了它们在社区活动背景下的相关性，识别和讨论了来自（包括但不限于）人文地理学、社会学、人类学、休闲研究和城市规划以及旅游和活动研究的理论框架。出于这些原因，《节日邂逅》对于从事广泛学科工作的学生和学者来说将是一本有价值的读物。
Festivals and events are of enormous significance to many communities around the world. They can have historic, religious, cultural and traditional significance, and they are also important parts of community building. This book focuses on these small-scale, non-metropolitan events (i.e. rural, regional and peri-urban) to explore the complex relationships between place, community and identity and the ways in which festival events bring these into being. By drawing on the notion of ‘encounter’, this book examines how festivals and events can be seen primarily as spaces where different people meet. This notion of encounter helps us to understand how conviviality and social relations are developed, and what this then means in terms of social cohesion and social justice. It also draws on current theoretical and methodological approaches that can tell us about the role of festivals in contemporary life, and it includes the sensual approach, the geographies of affect and emotion, the notion of the right to the city and nonrepresentation theory. The book brings together these perspectives and examines their relevance in the community events context, identifying and discussing theoretical frameworks drawn from (including but not limited to) human geography, sociology, anthropology, leisure studies and urban planning, as well as tourism and event studies. For these reasons, Festival Encounters will be a valuable read for students and academics working on a wide range of disciplines.
