Marginalisation and Events

This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of marginalisation and events. The volume applies a critical approach to events as they relate to marginalisation that seeks to address the 'how' and 'why' and to provide a holistic picture of their place and influence in the lives of marginalised individuals and communities.

Allan Stewart Jepson, PhD, 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 under-represented in a community cultural festival. Allan has three key texts in event studies (Exploring Community Festivals and Events; Managing and Developing Communities, Festivals and Events; and Power, Construction and Meaning in Festivals), all edited with Alan Clarke, University of Pannonia, Hungary.
