Readings
Textbook: Chapter 2. The World of Planned Events
* You (as an individual) need to pick two questions from following ‘discussion questions’ and
answer them.
Discussion Questions
1. Explain how form, function and experience can be used to classify events (i.e. typologies) and discuss the problems associated
with each approach.
2. Why are the planned events in the typology used in this chapter referred to as ‘social constructs’?
3. Describe the essential differences between each major type of planned event, including any fundamental differences in
experiences and programmed elements of style associated with them.
4. Why should event studies also be concerned with unplanned events and ‘events at the margin’? Give some examples to
compare planned and unplanned events.
5. Will the differences between event types and functions become less important because of convergence? Discuss factors
leading to convergence
