Throughout the United States, thousands of festivals, like St. Patrick's Day in New York City or the Greek Festival and Oktoberfest in Columbus, annually celebrate the ethnic heritages, values, and identities of the communities that stage them. Combining elements of ethnic pride, nostalgia, sentimentality, cultural memory, religous values, political positions, economic motive, and the spirit of celebration, these festivals are well-organized performances that promote a community's special identity and heritage. At the same time, these festivals usually reach out to the larger community in an attempt to place the ethnic community within the American fabric.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Throughout the United States, thousands of festivals, like St. Patrick's Day in New York City or the Greek Festival and Oktoberfest in Columbus, annually celebrate the ethnic heritages, values, and identities of the communities that stage them. Combining elements of ethnic pride, nostalgia, sentimentality, cultural memory, religous values, political positions, economic motive, and the spirit of celebration, these festivals are well-organized performances that promote a community's special identity and heritage. At the same time, these festivals usually reach out to the larger community in an attempt to place the ethnic community within the American fabric.
520 $a These festivals have a complex history tied to the "melting pot" history of America. Since the twentieth century many communities and ethnic groups have struggled to hold onto or reclaim a past that gradually slips away. Ethnic heritage festivals are one prevalent way to maintain this receding past. And yet such festivals can serve radically different aims, socially and politically. In this dissertation I will investigate how these festivals are presented and why they are significant for both participants and spectators. I wish to determine what such festivals do and mean. I will examine five Dutch American festivals, three of which are among the oldest ethnic heritage festivals in the United States.
520 $a My approach to this topic is interdisciplinary. Drawing upon research methods in several disciplines---theatre history, performance studies, theatre semiotics, ethnography and anthropology, folklore, and American history---I will describe and analyze how the social, political, and ethical values of the communities get expressed (performed, acted out, represented, costumed and displayed) in these various festivals. Instead of relying upon the familiar ideas of "the Midwest," "rural America," "conservative America," etc. that are often used in political commentary today, I want to show just how complex and often contradictory the festivals are in the ways they represent each community. At the same time, by placing these community festivals in the context of American history, I also intend to show how and why each festival serves as a microcosm of particular cultural, social, and political developments in modern America.
