> Tourism, Carnival and Folklore is an international academic conference
> jointly organised by the Centre for Tourism and Cultural
> Change at Sheffield Hallam University and the Croatian Ivo Pilar Instit=
ute
> for Social Sciences. It will be held in Dubrovnik,
> Croatia, from 17-20 March 2005. Tourism, Carnival and Folklore is the
fourth
> of the Journeys of Expression conferences, which will
> again bring together an international audience interested in the
ethnology,
> geography and political economy of festivals and
> festival performance, the transnational connectivity of festival spaces=
,
and
> the micro-politics of festive hospitality and
> exchange.

> Conference themes
> The themes to be discussed are inspired by the conclusions of our 2004
> conference held in Innsbruck, Austria, with our partners at
> the Institute of European Ethnology and Folklore, Innsbruck University.=
 In
> this sense, there will be a focus on festival tourism
> as a transnational social practice, the theme of the 2004 Innsbruck
> conference, which we believe allows us to rethink the role of
> tourists in the symbolic and economic exchange and consumption processe=
s
of
> contemporary society. Integral to this we will also
> focus upon the extent to which custom, tradition, legend and myth are
> expressed or performed through festivals and are
> communicated to, and experienced by, tourists.
