Festival as communicative performance and celebration of ethnicity

Abstract

Ethnicity is an observable and instrumental element of cultural communication.The modern age continues to witness a growing desire for ethnic recognition in individuals and groups, a search for ethnic identity, and a conscious exhibition of distinctive ethnic traits (Dégh 1978:36).The current article attempts to describe festivals and ethnic expressions occurring in that context.A festival prepares a communicative scenery for manifestations of ethnicity and cultural unity with the special objective to demonstrate and experience a particular identity.
