Synopsis

This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of events and well-being. It uses empirical case studies to help us better understand how events foster positive well-being or counter negative well-being for event organisers, participants, spectators, volunteers, and even non-attending local residents.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Allan Stewart Jepson has contributed widely to event studies literature within the realm of community festivals and events. His seminal work investigated power, hegemony and the construction, representation and consumption of culture(s) at a community festival and was the first to reveal marginalised local communities trapped and underrepresented in a community cultural festival. He has three key texts in event studies, all edited with Alan Clarke, University of Pannonia, Hungary. He, along with colleagues, is currently pursuing a research agenda investigating the well-being impacts of local community festivals and events which has centred on families and Quality of Life and more recently to investigate arts participation events and collective memory creation amongst the over 70s and how these events can reduce the common psychosocial impacts associated with older age.
