Renaissance Festivals
Renaissance Festivals: Merrying the Past and Present | Kimberly Tony Korol-Evans
2 posts
This ethnographic study of contemporary American Renaissance fairs focuses on the Maryland Renaissance Festival, in which participants recreate sixteenth-century England through performances of theater, combat-at-arms, processions, street hawking, and meticulously faithful historical reconstructions. It is also partly an autobiographical account of interactive improvisation, subcultures within the festival framework, the delineation between living history and historical elaboration, and a new understanding of performers and patrons.

I'm at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival today to pack up our booth. While I'm not getting any reading done, I did get three more pair of faire socks.
