This edited collection brings together academics from around the world researching events from a multi-disciplinary perspective; placing their work within the context of Victor Turner’s theories of ritual, flow, liminality and performance. The objective, through the breadth and diversity of the volume’s inquiry and reflection, is to conceptually explore the relationship between the scholarly study of events and Turner’s conceptual framework, while not avoiding a prescription of application. Through drawing together, in a single volume, a body of research and reflection that concentrates its attention on the liminal/liminoid from within a critical event studies perspective, this book addresses the growing interest in Turner’s work within event studies, encouraging new thought and theory generation within the field.weiterlesen
