3 ‘Festival studies’ has recently gained traction elsewhere, with much of the impetus coming from film studies. Thus far, it has mainly intersected with tourism and event studies. But it is increasingly being recognized as an important subdiscipline in its own right, with the Journal of Festive Studies (published online under the auspices of H-Net Commons) having been inaugurated in 2017.
