The primary objective of this study was to determine the social impact of arts festivals with reference to the ABSA KKNK. This goal was achieved by firstly analysing the social impact phenomena and the role thereof in events tourism. Secondly, a literature study was conducted in order to examine events as tourism products. Thirdly the results of the empirical research were discussed. Lastly conclusions were drawn from the research and recommendations were made with regard to the social impact of events as well as further research. From the literature, social impact was defined as the changes in the norms and values of society that are more apparent in the short-term. It was noted that when tourists vacate to a specific destination, visible impacts are noticed. Events can however provide employment opportunities, promote international peace and pride, as well as promote educational and cultural experiences but it can also lead to increased levels of irritation, crime, drug and alcohol abuse and cultural change. These positive and negative impacts were measured in the questionnaire, as adapted from Fredline and it was therefore the objective of the questionnaire to measure whether the community is positive or negative towards the festival, and whether there were any differences in the social impact when comparing the results of 2006 and 2007. The questionnaires were distributed in the community of Oudtshoorn based on a stratified sampling method followed by a random sampling method. A total of 444 questionnaires were completed, 179 in 2006 and 265 in 2007. On a positive note respondents agreed on the following aspects in 2006 and 2007: the public money spent on the ABSA KKNK would be better spent on other things, media coverage of the ABSA KKNK promotes development in Oudtshoorn and the basic skill base for event management in Oudtshoorn has increased. On a negative note respondents agreed on the following aspects in 2006 and 2007: ordinary residents get no say in the planning and management of the festival and traffic congestion is a problem. The positive impact has increased from 2006 to 2007. Two factor analyses were performed to determine the social impact factors in order to determine differences in the social impact of 2006 and 2007. The first analysis resulted in nine factors which accounted for 56.85% of the total variance and were labeled as: community issues, damage to the environment, community activities, local business and community opportunities, pricing, public facilities, traffic, disturbances and visitors. The second analysis resulted in three factors that accounted for 44.22% of the total variance and were labelled according to similar characteristics which included: community opportunities, community problems and community image. Means and standards deviations were determined after which the effect sizes were determined to explore the differences between the social impact for 2006 and 2007 on the dimensions of the various factors as determined in the factor analysis. It is clear that a small effect (0.2-0.4) exists between 2006 and 2007 concerning local business opportunities (0.25), pricing of goods (0.24), community activities (0.35), public facilities (0.39) and community activities (0.48). There were therefore no huge differences in the social impact between 2006 and 2007. / Thesis (M.Com. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the social impacts of arts festivals with reference to the KKNK and to make a comparison between the different cultures (white and coloured). This goal was achieved by firstly conceptualising culture. Secondly, a literature study was conducted in order to examine the social impacts of events. Thirdly the results of the empirical research were discussed, and lastly conclusions were drawn from the research and recommendations were made with regard to the social impacts of events, as well as further research. From the literature, social impacts were defined as the changes in the norms and values of society that are more apparent in the short-term. It was noted that when tourists vacate to a specific destination, visible impacts are notices. Events can, however, provide employment opportunities, promote international peace and pride, as well as promote educational and cultural experiences. It can also lead to increased levels of irritation, crime, drug and alcohol abuse and cultural change. These positive and negative impacts were measured by means of a questionnaire, as adapted from Fredline. The objective of the questionnaire is therefore to measure whether the community is positive or negative towards the festival, and whether there were any differences in the social impacts when comparing the results of the white and coloured communities. The questionnaire was distributed amongst the community members of Oudtshoorn, based on a stratified sampling method, followed by a random sampling method. A total of 258 questionnaires were completed, 110 from the white community and 148 from the coloured community. Two factor analyses were performed to determine the social impacts factors in order to determine differences in the social impacts on the white community and the social impacts on the coloured community. The first analysis resulted in eight factors and accounted for 58.1% of the total variance and was labelled as: community issues, negative impacts, everyday living, social opportunities, economic impacts, community rights, visitors and environmental impacts. The second analysis resulted in four factors that accounted for 59.54% of the total variance and were labelled according to similar characteristics which included: development opportunities, community involvement, motivational factors and social risks. Means and standards deviations had been determined, after which the affected sizes were determined to explore the differences between the social impacts on the white community and on the coloured community on the dimensions of the various factors as determined in the factor analysis. It is clear that there is a small affect (0.2-0.4) on the two communities. / Thesis (M.Com. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Au fil des trente dernières années, la notion de performance semble avoir acquis une place décisive dans le discours critique et esthétique du champ théâtral français. Cette étude vise à révéler les conditions dans lesquelles la notion de performance change de statut au sein du discours critique français, à travers une archéologie de la notion qui explore la décennie précédant son apparition dans le discours critique du théâtre en France. Il s’agit de rendre compte des débats et des frictions qui conduisent progressivement à cette émergence, à partir des discours des artistes, des organisateurs et des observateurs (spectateurs et critiques) des pratiques théâtrales dites expérimentales. La thèse étudie d’abord le discours de réseaux artistiques périphériques et parisiens de la période 1963-1968 : les premières éditions de la Semaine Sigma de Bordeaux, la branche Fluxus de l’École de Nice, ainsi que festival parisien de la Libre Expression qui présente le Théâtre Panique et organise des happenings. L’étude se concentre ensuite sur le discours relatif à la séquence 1969-1973 du Festival Mondial du Théâtre de Nancy. On y retrouve les mêmes concepts, exprimés cette fois au service d’un nouvel esprit du théâtre, dont l’enjeu consiste à établir un nouveau territoire critique et esthétique à même de garantir à la discipline théâtrale une place forte au sein de la société. De façon a priori paradoxale, les caractéristiques de la performance s’accordent à la fois aux pratiques théâtrales expérimentales et à une société marquée par l’économie capitaliste. De la contre-culture à la superstructure, cette historiographie tente de rassembler des éléments d’éclairage à cette problématique. / Throughout the past three decades, the notion of performance seems to have gained a crucial place in the French field of theatre’s critical and esthetical discourse. This dissertation intends to find out the conditions in which the notion of performance evolves inside the French critical discourse, exploring the decade preceding its advent in the critical discourse on theatre in France. The aim is to map an archaeology of the notion and to report the debates and frictions which progressively led to its emergence, out of the discourses of artists, curators and observers (spectators and critics) of the so-called experimental theatre practices. The study first analyses the discourse related to some artistic networks -peripheric and Parisian- during the 1963-1968 period, such as the first festivals Sigma in Bordeaux, the Fluxus branch of École de Nice, and the Parisian festival of Libre Expression, which presents the Panique Theatre and happenings. The dissertation then focuses on the discourse related to the 1969-1973 sequence of the International Theatre Festival of Nancy. One witnesses the same concepts, expressed this time in order to underwrite a new spirit of theatre, the stake of which is to set up a new critical and esthetical territory, able to ensure a stronghold position for the theatre field within the society. This historiography gathers elements to clarify how the features of performance can match both the experimental theatre practices and the society outlined by the capitalistic economy, from counter-culture to superstructure.

A investigação se dá com base nos enquadramentos construídos pela cobertura noticiosa dos dois principais jornais impressos do estado do Amazonas nos anos de 2015e 2016. Na região Amazônica, o destaque que as mulheres recebem na mídia relaciona-se majoritariamente com a questão das manifestações culturais existentes, o que nos leva a refletir sobre como os meios de comunicação regionais vislumbram a mulher e a representam. Por isso, a pesquisa procura responder as seguintes perguntas: como as mulheres que participam do Festival Folclórico de Boi-bumbá estão sendo apresentadas nos meios de comunicação e de que forma esse enquadramento representa a figura feminina? Concluiu-se que as mulheres são apresentadas primeiramente como item de boi, ou seja, personagens de uma representação popular. Depois elas são apresentadas como mulheres brancas, que tem cabelos longos, negros e lisos. Quando se responde às questões de pesquisa, tem-se 1. “Quais aspectos da manifestação de cultura popular de Boi-bumbá foram destacados nas edições?” entende-se que ambos os jornais creem que o Festival Folclórico e suas nuances são parte da cultura popular, pois, quando o assunto é cultura popular, eles sempre destacam o boi e os demais personagens envolvidos nessa manifestação. 2. “Qual o papel da mulher nos enquadramentos jornalísticos construídos sobre as manifestações, em amostras de jornais?”, percebeu-se que os jornalistas enxergam a mulher apenas como parte dessa manifestação, pois a grande maioria das reportagens as apresenta como item, bela, nova, rainha, linda, como uma mulher que sonha em ser item desde criança. A terceira e última pergunta é: “Qual a representação das características obrigatórias das mulheres que participam dessas manifestações?”, identificaram-se que as características das mulheres é em sua maioria ter a cor branca, ser magra, ter cabelos longos e pretos, dentes muito brancos. / This research analyses the journalistic representation of the female gender within the main popular manifestation of the Northern Region: Folklore Festival of Parintins (Boibumbá Garantido and Caprichoso). The research is based on the framings built by the news coverage of the region's two main print journals in the years 2015 and 2016. In the Amazon region, the emphasis women receive in the media is almost always related to the issue of cultural manifestations, which leads us to reflect how the media of the region itself see the woman and make a representation of it. Therefore, the research has the following problem question: how are the women participating in the Boi-bumbá Folk Festival being presented in the media and how does this framing represent the female figure? It was concluded that women are presented first as a bumba item, that is, characters from a popular representation. Then they are presented as white women, who have long, black and smooth hair. When answering the questions of research, we have 1. "What aspects of the manifestation of popular culture of Boi-bumbá were highlighted in the editions?" It is understood that both newspapers believe that the Folk Festival and its nuances are popular culture , because when the subject is popular culture, they always highlight the ox and the other characters involved in this manifestation. 2. "What is the role of women in the journalistic framings built on apresentation in newspaper samples?", It was noticed that journalists see women only as part of this manifestations, since most of the reports present them as an item, beautiful , new, beautiful, queen, like a woman who dreams of being item since child. The third and last question is: "What is the representation of the obligatory characteristics of the women who participate in these manifestations?", The characteristics of the women were identified as being mostly white, thin, having long, black hair, teeth very white

The main objective was to create a certain design improvements lead to the success of the festival.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Hospitality Management / Junehee Kwon / Festivals draw large numbers of visitors to tourist destinations and provide stakeholders with monetary and non-monetary benefits. Considering festivals’ positive influence on the host destinations and increasing competition, making festivals continuously successful is critical. However, little empirical work has been conducted that helps destination marketers and festival organizers increase festivals’ competitiveness. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation was to assess the nature of festival attendees’ experiences, and the way in which the experiences contribute to developing attendees’ voluntary behaviors that enable festivals to achieve a competitive advantage. Study 1 examined multiple dimensions of constructive authenticity and relationships among constructive authenticity, existential authenticity, and festival satisfaction. The link to the online survey was distributed by a survey research firm (Qualtrics) to potential participants who had attended at least one Renaissance Festival in the U.S. within the past 12 months. A total of 411 usable responses was collected and included in the final data analyses. The results of an exploratory factor analysis identified three underlying dimensions of constructive authenticity: performance, human, and physical environment. The proposed relationships were tested using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that existential authenticity was positively related to the human (β = .47, t = 5.20, p < .001) and physical environment (β = .43, t = 4.88, p < .001) factors but not to the performance factor. Further, existential authenticity was positively associated with festival satisfaction. Study 2 tested relationships among existential authenticity, festival satisfaction, affective commitment, and three dimensions of attendees’ customer citizenship behavior (CCB): helping others, making recommendations, and providing constructive suggestions to organizers. Responses to a self-administered questionnaire distributed by Qualtrics were collected, and 408 usable responses were used to test the research model proposed. The results showed that existential authenticity was positively related to festival satisfaction (β = .83, t = 15.65, p < .001). However, existential authenticity did not influence CCB. Festival satisfaction was not related directly to helping others, but was related positively to making recommendations (β = .36, t = 3.16, p < .01). Contrary to the prediction, festival satisfaction was associated negatively with providing constructive suggestions. Festival satisfaction was also linked positively with affective commitment (β = .66, t = 13.59, p < .001). The results underscored the positive effect of affective commitment on three dimensions of CCB: helping others (β = .67, t = 10.30, p < .001), making recommendations (β = .15, t = 2.39, p < .05), and providing constructive suggestions (β = .63, t = 9.60, p < .001). In addition, the significance of the indirect effects of existential authenticity on making recommendations via festival satisfaction, as well as festival satisfaction on helping others through affective commitment, was confirmed. The findings advance our understanding of perceived authenticity and CCB in the festival context. In addition to its contributions to the literature, destination marketers and festival organizers can benefit from the suggestions for practical applications. The study concludes with a discussion of its limitations and recommendations for future research.
