Abstract

“Les jours de fête dans mon village natal, le match de football de l’après-midi se situait entre la fanfare des pompiers, la grand-messe solennelle, l'apéritif du maire, le bal populaire et le feu d'artifice de 23 heures. Le sport, du même coup, apparaissait comme un simple prétexte parmi d’autres pour permettre à la collectivité d'affirmer, peut-être de souder son identité. On sent bien à quel point cette définition est peu satisfaisante, aussi bien pour les passionnés de sport que pour le philosophe. Et la question fuse immédiate : quelle est, par rapport aux autres fêtes, la spécificité de la fête sportive ? Quel est l'objet de ce culte qui réunit, chaque semaine de par le monde des centaines de milliers, voire des millions de personnes ? Et les tentations de réponses se pressent en nombre dont nous pressentons bien à quel point elles sont pertinentes, mais à quel point aussi elles sont dans le fond insuffisantes. La fête sportive, culte du corps ? Culte du "nationalisme", au sens péjoratif d'exaltation du groupe et d'exclusion de tous les autres ? Culte du vedettariat ? Culte de l'argent ? Notre embarras pourrait nous conduire à conclure un peu hâtivement que dans une société en crise, le sport ne peut être rien d'autre que l'expression de cette crise”. Mais, c'est précisément parce qu'ils refusent de se résigner à cette conclusion facile, que les organisateurs de la 11ème Université Sportive d’Été ont retenu le thème : Sport, Fête et Société pour leur rassemblement annuel.

Abstract

Heritage and Festivals in Europe critically investigates the purpose, reach and effects of heritage festivals. Providing a comprehensive and detailed analysis of comparatively selected aspects of intangible cultural heritage, the volume demonstrates how such heritage is mobilised within events that have specific agency, particularly in the production and consumption of intrinsic and instrumental benefits for tourists, local communities and performers. Bringing together experts from a wide range of disciplines, the volume presents case studies from across Europe that consider many different varieties of heritage festivals. Focusing primarily on the popular and institutional practices of heritage making, the book addresses the gap between discourses of heritage at an official level and cultural practice at the local and regional level. Contributors to the volume also study the different factors influencing the sustainable development of tradition as part of intangible cultural heritage at the micro- and meso-levels, and examine underlying structures that are common across different countries. Heritage and Festivals in Europe takes a multidisciplinary approach and as such, should be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of heritage studies, tourism, performing arts, cultural studies and identity studies. Policymakers and practitioners throughout Europe should also find much to interest them within the pages of this volume.

Abstract

European Renaissance Festivals are noted for their extravagance, for their inherited classical culture, and as evidence of how court and civic spectacles could express political, religious, social, and economic aspirations. In this new monograph, the accent is firmly on the violent context of Magnificence: it examines how war affected the minds and practice of both artists and princes, and shows how victims and their suffering were as prominent in festival as were conquerors and their projections of victory. What emerges here is the dark side represented in princely entries where imperial ambitions are built upon civic devastation and where myths elaborate and expose their ambiguous nature and message. Artists and poets collaborated in bringing victory and violence together: Mantegna and Durer in triumphal processions; Frans Floris and Rubens on the canvases they created for triumphal arches, where mythology was put to work to arouse excitement for deeds of heroism and death, while engravers depicted scenes of war and destruction to accommodate contemporary taste.

Abstract

One of the first transnational, feminist studies of Canada's black beauty culture and the role that media, retail, and consumers have played in its development, Beauty in a Box widens our understanding of the politics of black hair. The book analyzes advertisements and articles from media-newspapers, advertisements, television, and other sources-that focus on black communities in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Calgary. The author explains the role local black community media has played in the promotion of African American-owned beauty products; how the segmentation of beauty culture (i.e., the sale of black beauty products on store shelves labelled "ethnic hair care") occurred in Canada; and how black beauty culture, which was generally seen as a small niche market before the 1970s, entered Canada's mainstream by way of department stores, drugstores, and big-box retailers. Beauty in a Box uses an interdisciplinary framework, engaging with African American history, critical race and cultural theory, consumer culture theory, media studies, diasporic art history, black feminism, visual culture, film studies, and political economy to explore the history of black beauty culture in both Canada and the United States.

Abstract

Centraal in dit nummer van Nieuwe Tijdingen staan de evolutie en vormgeving van festiviteiten in de vroegmoderne Nederlanden. Daarbij belichten de auteurs feesten van allerlei aard, bijvoorbeeld als gevolg van de Reformatie of de Franse Revolutie. Ze onderzoeken de rol van traditie en innovatie bij feestelijk vertier, de weergave en verslaggeving van feestelijkheden in media en kunsten, de rol van materiële cultuur in festiviteiten en de rol van veranderende normen en waarden met betrekking tot feestvieren in uiteenlopende sociale milieus. Zowel elitaire festiviteiten als vormen van volksvermaak komen aan bod. Zo gaat het onder meer over vorstelijke intredes, carnavalsvieringen, feestmaaltijden, loterijen, ‘kwelspelen’ en illuminaties.
