Abstract

As a preliminary critique that tries to polemicize the anthropology of spectacle this paper will problematize an "invented" festival as accumulation of images and meanings from valued, capitalized, and contested space of mobility and contemporary travel and tourism. It is also a folkloric reading of the contemporary based on people's performatives seen through a community during a festive occasion, as this essay examines a particular space and time of travel and modernity that it produced, consumed, and mobilized by different agencies and structures of powerplay in the creation of a contested locality--or even a reality.
