| Description: |
Chapter 8 pursues the theme of community in relation to the notion of the global village. The Unicorn Natural Voice Camp (held in England) and a set of overseas singing tours organised by Village Harmony (in Corsica, Bosnia, and Georgia) serve as detailed case studies. The analysis is framed by perspectives derived from the critical literature on travel and tourism. It explores the dynamics of “being there” for tour participants and the symbolic meanings that may be attached to their presence by the host community, and reveals how transnational networks contribute to the sustainability of local communities, and vice versa. The chapter ends by revisiting questions of identity in the contemporary world, together with ideas about how the performing arts offer themselves as a prime site for experimenting with new ways of living and being. |
