A while back, a posting here drew attention to the excellent David Picard / Mike Robinson collection of essays on Festivals, Tourism and Social Change. There’s an interesting snippet in the latest hidden europe e-news (more a popular publication rather than an academic one) that nicely picks up on the notions of festival as performance and festivals as a way in which a community negotiates its own identity. See the second item (Shrovetide Frolics) on this link: http://www.hiddeneurope.co.uk/barticle_info.php?articles_id=329 The magazine is a world apart from many popular publications in the travel and tourism area, with well researched pieces that probe issues of language, culture and identity. The table of contents of the latest issue is at http://www.hiddeneurope.co.uk/articles.php?tPath=19 CH
