For the first time, it compiles and defines a comprehensive glossary of terms used in the event-specific literature.Whilst many of these terms are commonplace, their usage in the events literature is often specific and in need of interpretation.Whilst there are numerous short entries and basic definitions, the emphasis has been placed on terms with high relevance to planned events, and in particular to theories, concepts and models specific to event studies.Multiple usages, including quotations are provided, where relevant, to cover the breadth of meanings and applications of the terms. Part of the Event Management Theory and Methods Series.This series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism.They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world. With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable resources.Series editor: Donald Getz PhD., Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary, Canada.

Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

Event culture refers to the way in which events, such as festivals, concerts, and sporting events, shape and influence a society's values, beliefs, and behaviors. Time culture, on the other hand, refers to the way in which a society perceives and organizes time, including concepts of punctuality, scheduling, and the pace of life.

Critical Event Studies
Within events management, events are commonly categorised within two axes, size and content.Along the size axis events range between the small scale and local, through major events, which garner greater media interest, to internationally significant hallmark and mega events such as the Edinburgh Festival and the Tour de France.Content is frequently divided into three forms – culture, sport or business.However, such frameworks overlook and depoliticise a significant variety of events, those more accurately construed as protest. This book brings together new research and theories from around the world and across sociology, leisure studies, politics and cultural studies to develop a new critical pedagogy and critical theory of events.It is the first research monograph that deals explicitly with the concept of critical event studies (CES), the idea that it is impossible to explore and understand events without understanding the wider social, cultural and political contexts.It addresses questions such as can the occupation and reclamation of specific spaces by activists be understood as events within its framework? And is the activity of activists in these spaces a leisure activity?If those, and other similar activities, can be read as events and leisure, what does admitting them into the scope of events management and leisure studies mean for our understanding of them and how the study of events management is to be conceptualised?This title will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students on events management and related courses and scholars interested in understanding the ways in which events are constructed by the social, the cultural and the political.

What is an outcome event, a complementary event, a sample space, and an event set?
An outcome event is a specific result that can occur in an experiment or random process. A complementary event is the opposite of a given event, representing all outcomes that are not part of the original event. A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment, while an event set is a collection of one or more outcomes from the sample space that are of interest in a particular situation.

What is a certain event and an impossible event?
A certain event is an event that is guaranteed to happen, with no possibility of failure. For example, the sun rising in the morning is a certain event. An impossible event, on the other hand, is an event that has no chance of occurring. For example, a person jumping to the moon without any assistance is an impossible event.

What is the difference between event space and event system?
Event space refers to the physical location where an event takes place, such as a venue or a room. It includes the layout, design, and capacity of the space. On the other hand, an event system refers to the overall framework or structure that manages and coordinates all aspects of an event, including planning, scheduling, communication, and logistics. While event space focuses on the physical environment, event system encompasses the organizational and operational elements of an event.
