The Local, The Global, or Somewhere in Between? by Peter J. Verdin

“…This research examines the way that ideas of locality and globality are negotiated, reinvented, and reimagined at Africa Festival in Würzburg, an annual festival that celebrates African music and culture in the Lower Franconian region of Germany. Operating from the conceit that events like Africa Festival are “constructed cultural festivals,” this research looks at the way that these reinventions and reimaginings are reflective of implicit notions of authority, authenticity, power, and alterity, which have been shaped by globalization and colonial legacy. …”
