Athena Katsanevaki (University of Macedonia)

Paper short abstract:

How sound ,space and dance co-relate in the local panigyria in Greece and why a special place is selected to be the space of the dance in accordance with its functional purpose?

Paper long abstract:

The "Pamygiri" in Greece is a typical form of a religious festival, found in many forms and in different places. Nonetheless there are some common characteristics (shared by the local panigyria in certain areas of Greece) which reveal a process that supports important social purposes. As the purpose of the dance changes a different space is required as the form of the dance and the music differs. These purposes which reflect the self-identity of the communities are indispensable to it as they are bound to the question of its survival. In such a way they are incorporated in every activity related to it and especially in every activity that reflects the reaction of its members against its dissolution.
