The thesis examines and explains the background events to the architecture of the University of Edinburgh during the years 1949-65, when Sir Edward Appleton was the Principal. The four books that constitute the thesis each take different perspectives on the progress of the post-war expansion project. Appleton had to reconcile Edinburgh's policy to reintegrate dispersed University departments within the city-centre with a rapid and unprecedented and expansion in higher education. Selection of sites was the subject of a prolonged and heated debate, which is related in Book One. Aided by a formidable array of architectural talent, Appleton persuaded the local and national authorities that the controversial George Square development, in tandem with a separate suburban site for science expansion, would produce the most desirable outcome. The second book discusses the style of architecture that was produced, looking at the pre-war background of the Edinburgh School architects: William Kininmonth, Basil Spence, Robert Matthew and Alan Reiach. The influences are traced to Scandinavia and the architects' preoccupation with cultural nationalism. These factors combined with the ethos of reconstruction and the City's ambitions for cultural regeneration to create architecture with a resonance particular to its time and place. How, and why, this is regarded as Festival Style is explained. The academic and social objectives of the Universities, as directed by Humanists and Christians in influential positions, were crucial to the architectural outcome, and these are investigated in Book Three. A large amenity centre was planned for the University area and an important purpose-built halls-of-residence development achieved at a site near the city-centre in consequence of this. Edinburgh's own tradition, emanating from Patrick Geddes, played a significant part in the development of residences and student amenities, particularly the rehabilitation of a large 17th century building in the heart of the Old Town. Finally, in Book Four, the relationships between the architects and the theoretical antipathies they encountered are considered. The University provided a forum for interaction between the architects, with Matthew emerging as the dominant figure, advising Appleton on architecture and planning, and ultimately setting up a University Department of Architecture. For him, the University project was part of a social mission and architecture its tool. Kininmonth, the first post-war architect to the University, was displaced by Matthew's arrival. Spence's approach to urban design was crucial in the realisation of the George Square project, and yet he too was replaced when that was achieved. All of these architects encountered the dichotomies of Modernity and Tradition, and Science vs. Art, though with differing responses. Architects and University ultimately experienced the conflict between pragmatism and idealism. Viewed in its context. the achievement of Appleton was remarkable and, as a result, the University of Edinburgh must be considered the most extraordinary patron of architecture of the period.

在過去十年當中，台灣分別成功爭取到三次大型國際管樂節慶活動的主辦權，包括「2000年亞太管樂節」、「2008年亞太管樂節」以及「2011年世界管樂年會」。相較於其他先進國家，台灣無論是在資源、外交地位、或是管樂的發展上，均是處於相對弱勢的狀態。所以，台灣要在這些參與競爭的會員國當中勝出成為主辦國，必須先在內部整合「中央與地方政府」、「民間組織與個人」等各方的目標與資源，並在國際管樂協會的規範下，於適當時機提出有力的方案，才能成功爭取到這些大型國際管樂節慶活動的主辦權。而在這個過程當中，居中負責策動整個爭辦過程的個人或是組織，其整合的工作非常重要也非常複雜，而且直接影響爭辦的成功與否，實有深入探究之價值。

In the first part of this thesis I explain by means of cultural anthropology, religious studies and performance theories the basic characteristics of ritual and the interconnection between both, ritual and theater. In the second part I analyze various important factors for the development of rituals. With these factors I subsequently analyze my own ritualistic theater productions: Hudební Modlitba Lety 1942 (Ponec Theatre - Prague , CZ, 2014) and the installation and performance Memories (HISTeRIA festival - Gračišče, SL , 2013)

This dissertation takes an ethnographic perspective on competing global discourses and contested nationalisms in a postcolonial, multicultural nation. Using the Festival au Desert, in Mali, West Africa as a case study, I investigate the complexities of using cultural productions and tourism to achieve political, economic, and social goals. I critically assess several projects of Tuareg Intangible Cultural Heritage preservation to show the contested nature of collective identities. Neoliberal development in the Global South necessitates niche markets such as tourism centered on culture; however these markets are inherently unstable due to historic and contemporary global economic practices. The Festival au Desert was opened to the world just a few years after an armed rebellion between Tuareg separatists and the state of Mali was suppressed. On the first full moon of 2001, the Festival brought Malian musicians and citizens together in celebration. It became a symbol of peace and reconciliation between formally opposed groups, most notably southern sedentary populations and northern nomadic groups, such as the Tuareg. It also became an important factor in income generation in Mali, and it was a space where international tourists and their Tuareg hosts came into contact and shared dialogue. Tuareg hoped that through the Festival the world could know who they were outside of the rebellion. But in 2012, a renewed rebellion was staged and subsequently co-opted by supporters of Al-Qaeda who instituted Shari'a law in Timbuktu sending the Festival into exile, and Mali's growing tourist economy came to a devastating halt. The Festival provides a rich case study of the benefits and perils of tourism in multicultural states and in wider globalizing frames. It highlights the contradictions in using tourism as a development strategy, as prescribed by international institutions such as the United Nations World Tourism Organization, as it is a fragile enterprise subject to the whims of the market, environment, and global and local politics. However, the research also shows the importance of the Festival for Tuareg identity and how it provided a space for nomads to continue a tradition of gathering after seasonal migrations to negotiate marriages, discuss politics, and celebrate together.

A compreensão da responsabilidade sobre essa sustentabilidade é de fundamental importância para que ela seja exercida e alcançada de forma efetiva. Nesse contexto, o Turismo Responsável busca ações práticas e viáveis através da união de setor público e privado, em acordo com os autóctones. Diante das discussões sobre responsabilidade e do papel dos eventos no turismo, o presente trabalho se propõe a analisar de que forma as dimensões do Turismo Responsável podem contribuir para o planejamento, realização e gestão da realização de eventos de forma responsável. Para essa análise é tomado como objeto de estudo o Festival Internacional de Cinema e Vídeo Ambiental (FICA) que acontece no município de Goiás/GO. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa e exploratória, utilizando-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, observação entrevistas e questionários. Buscou-se analisar as possibilidades práticas responsáveis no turismo a partir do XVIII FICA. Neste evento, foi possível constatar que o mesmo se utiliza de termos relacionados a questões ambientais e sustentáveis, mas de fato não realiza ações de forma responsável. . Não considera o seu real sentido e utiliza-se do termo apenas como forma de divulgação. / The sustainability became a schedule of the discussion in Tourism. The comprehension of the responsibility about this sustainability has a fundamental importance to be practiced and reached in a real way. In this context, the Responsible Tourism search practical and viable action trough the junction of private and public section, according to the autochthonous. In front of the discussions about responsibility and of the aim of events in tourism, the present work suggests to analyze how the dimensions of the Responsible Tourism can contribute to the planning, realization and management of the realization of events in a responble way. To this analysis is collected as the aim of study the Festinval Internacional de Vídeo e Cinema Ambiental (FICA) which takes place in the county of Goiás/GO. The research characterize as qualitative and exporatory. Using the bibliographic and documental research, observation and interview, searched to analyse the practical possibilities responsible in tourism since FICA. This way it as possible to evidence the possibilities of the responsibility applied in events suggesting Responsible Events. However, we also see the use of terms related to environmental issues and sustainable in an irresponsible way. Not considering their real meaning and using them only as a form of disclosure.
