- Abstract
- Festival activities lure us in and arouse emotions that the potential to encourage us to be more with others. We stop for a moment and listen the local foods, and generally get caught up in the festival moment. Or, at times we may feel quited alienated by these events, rejecting the sorts of activities and performances we come across, and not wishing to be part of these atvivities, we grimace, cover our eyes and hurry past. At a festival, then any notion of feeling of belong is most deeply created out of the bodily and emotive experiences of being 'in the groove together' (Keil & Feld, 1994: 167). Emotions ar activated through festival activities that ecourage crowd inter-mingling, such as listening to music peformances, joining in dance, the aromas and taste of food and other forms of shared experiences.
