Festival curators play a major role in interpreting the Festival's principles and shaping its practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCuratorial Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e brings together for the first time in one volume the combined expertise of the Festival's curatorial staff--past and present--in examining the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage's representation practices and their critical implications for issues of intangible cultural heritage policy, competing globalisms, cultural tourism, sustainable development and environment, and cultural pluralism and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the volume, edited by the staff curators Olivia Cadaval, Sojin Kim, and Diana Baird N'Diaye, contributors examine how Festival principles, philosophical underpinnings, and claims have evolved, and address broader debates on cultural representation from their own experience. This book represents the first concerted project by Smithsonian staff curators to examine systematically the Festival's institutional values as they have evolved over time and to address broader debates on cultural representation based on their own experiences at the Festival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivia Cadaval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496805984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496805980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Olivia Cadaval","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169862775039,"sku":"9781496805980","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01191f55-f1a3-4f27-94be-a7a64e3be976.jpg?v=1689655358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/curatorial-conversations-olivia-cadaval-9781496805980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
