LOCAL SPACE AND URBAN FESTIVALS
Keywords:
local space, festivals, urban festival, urban, society, spaceAbstract
A growing body of criticism claims that the contemporary spectacle has a stringently imposed
public life, a controlled and dominant public sphere, delineated public spaces, and a sense of
meaning that is associated with them with all of this being realized through the stipulation of
public space and political economic objectives. During these studies we observed participants
at two different festivals (one in Uttar Pradesh, and other in Madhya Pradesh), as well as
analyzed the spatial arrangement of the festivals, in order to demonstrate that these events could
also stimulate social interactions on a local level. Participants' perceptions of place and
participation in local identity performances are shaped by the spaces where they interact
informally. Enclosure characteristics include centrality, axial connectivity, and permeability.
