Three themes and PhD: Critical realism, social network analysis, and festival communities

Jarman, David

Abstract

This paper explores some of the key themes from my PhD. In the paper I introduced the themes in the context of my work, exploring interpretations of "community" and "networks" in ways that are generally under explored in the festival and events literature. Critical realism was discussed as the philosophical stance that has been deployed to underpin the PhD commentary.
