Despite their ubiquity and cultural prominence, the academic study of artsfestivals has long been neglected. The burgeoning festivals industry is,however, firmly embedded in both the arts funding and weekly calendarof European cities, and there is no doubt that festivals are fast becoming adefining feature of urban life in the twenty-first century. An assessment oftheir nature and impact is more pressing than ever before.The contributors to this volume explore the modern urban festival andthe difference it makes to the experience and management of diversity inthe city. Their research reveals an unsettling coupling of the celebration oflocal diversity with institutional amnesia, in which the memory of a festivalhardly ever outlasts its funding. This book documents a key phenomenonof our time, the supplanting of community-based remembering with therepetitive structures of events whose historic and interpretative depth islost amid a spiraling velocity of 'festivalization'.
