The Dynamic Festival: Ritual, Regulation and Play in Changing TimesFootnote^*

* This discussion is an updated version of Boissevain (Citation1991), which in turn was based on two of the research papers presented to a seminar workshop on ‘Feasts and Rituals in the Netherlands’ held at the Anthropological-Sociological Centre of the University of Amsterdam in the spring of 1988. The editorial team of the Volkenkunde section of the P.J. Meertens Institute selected these from among the 15 presented during the workshop for publication in their Cahiers series.
