Festival Studies

Festival Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the various aspects of festivals, including their cultural, social, economic, and political significance. Researchers explore how festivals reflect community values, traditions, and identities, as well as their impact on local economies and tourism. This field also investigates the roles of performance, art, and public participation in creating shared experiences. By analyzing festivals from different perspectives, scholars aim to understand their broader implications for society and the ways they contribute to cultural heritage and community cohesion.
