I write not as an academic, but as a singer, writer of works for the stage, festival director, and arts advisor. The word curator first entered my understanding as the role of those working in art galleries and museums: those skilled individuals

Hardscrabble Academies
Dorothy Noyes
Current intergovernmental initiatives to protect traditional culture rely on a problematic conception of “community” as its creator/owner. Accounts of distributed invention in open-source software suggest that the network model provides a better description of folk process. But the celebrated “flexible network” of contemporary collective creativity is historically specific. Using the example of festival in Catalonia, I show that those forms we call traditional emerge from inflexible networks shaped by economic scarcity, political constraint, and an abundance of time: “hardscrabble academies.” As traditions move into liberal capitalist settings, they undergo certain characteristic transformations, experiencing contradictory pressures towards dispersal and proliferation, onthe one hand, and codification under particular regimes of circulation, on the other.

Labmovel
Media Arts on Wheels

It consists of specially designed street vehicles equipped with features of digital media developed in the cities of Amsterdam and São Paulo. In 2012, artists from both countries submitted residency proposals that integrated the development of art projects, workshops, and cultural events as the Mobile Labs went on tour in the Netherlands and Brazil.

The Metamorphosis of Festivals in a Socialist Country
Dunja Rihtman-Auguštin
In the analysis of the system of Yugoslav socialist festivals and rituals, the hypothesis of the French historian Michel Vovelle about the metamorphosis of revolutionary festivals has been followed. Socialist festivals rhythmize the year in ways that do not disrupt the traditional cycle of annual rituals, still they postpone or anticipate it's peaks. Besides, Yugoslav official socialist ritual neglects crucial moments in individual life cycle. Cultural historic ethnology in Croatia and in Yugoslavia did not consider socialist festivals and rituals as a part of popular culture and was not interested in the research of these phenomena. The present author sketches an outline of the ethnology of socialist ritual.

Towards a Political Economy of Italian Competitive Festivals
Sydel Silverman
In Central Italy a recurrent feature of popular festivals is an event entailing competition among territorial or other divisions within the urban-centered polity. The Palio of Siena and the Ceri of Gubbio are of particular interest because they have historical continuity of several centuries and because they exhibit contrasting versions of the general pattern: competition in the Palio being among territorial units (contrade), while in the Ceri it is among occupational categories. The elaborate cultural forms of such festivals have invited interpretation emphasizing their symbolic meaning, but they must also be understood as political-economic phenomena. The hypothesis that the territorial pattern has the effect of impeding class-based alliances is examined in the light of historical evidence on Siena, and in relation to the multiplication of territorial festivals in the twentieth century. Comparison with Gubbio suggests that occupational competition has a similar effect of supporting the social order, but through a different mechanism.

Creole festivals and Afro‐Creole cosmopolitanisms in Mauritius
Laura Jeffery
Focusing ethnographically on the Creole festivals in Mauritius, this article examines coexisting cosmopolitan and localising processes in a non‐elite and rooted context. It outlines the marginalisation of Creoles in Mauritius before elucidating three processes evident in Afro‐Creole collective identification: cross‐continental inspiration from the ‘Creole world’ of the African diaspora; regional ethnic identification as Indian Ocean island Creoles with overlapping histories and shared cultural traditions; and the localising identity politics of differentiation of each ‘Creole culture’ as unique and rooted in a particular island or state.

Islamic View on Pluralism
Raficq Abdulla
How do people of faith reconcile their own faith path with the reality and validity of pluralism? How to be faithful to one's own tradition and also be open to the faith of the other? What are the enabling or disabling issues that make it easier or more difficult for members of different faiths to work or sometimes even to co-exist together?
