Corp. www.cognizantcommunication.com THE FESTIVAL AS CARNIVALESQUE: SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AND CONTROL AT PAMPLONA’S SAN FERMIN FIESTA NEIL RAVENSCROFT* and XAVIER MATTEUCCI† *University of Brighton, UK †Canada Using empirical data from a questionnaire survey of residents and visitors attending the 1998 San Fermin fiesta in Pamplona, Spain, this article offers a critique of the contemporary construction of festivals as interpretive devices. Informed by the work of Bakhtin, this article makes the case that festivals should be understood as carnivalesque inversions of the everyday, deployed to maintain and reinforce social order and, thus, the discipline of bodies. This is achieved, it is argued, by creating “liminal zones” in which people can engage in “deviant” practices, safe in the knowledge that they are not transgressing the wider social structure they encounter in everyday life. It is suggested that the attraction of visitors is crucial, in providing a “cover” for this activity, as well as a conduit for the gradual legitimation of new and revised social values. The article concludes by arguing that this need for tourists (local and outsiders) is both recognized and embraced by residents and visitors alike, with neither fraction naive enough to believe that authenticity resides in representation, or even cultural (re)production. Festivals Social relations Interpretation Introduction: Festivals and the Reproduction tive memories are related less to their historical or of Social Relations social context, and more to the increasing abstraction and rerouting of cultural meanings.

Located on the Way of St James, Pamplona is the first city pilgrims come across on their way from Roncesvalles, a fact which has conditioned its history and character since ancient times. Its Renaissance fortifications are among the finest in Europe. Its parks and gardens never cease to amaze visitors. And in addition to all this, it has outstanding traditional food, based on the high quality of its local products, and a varied cultural agenda. Whatever the time of year, it is well worth taking a break to enjoy Pamplona’s cultural programme, its small music, food and art festivals, and all the events it hosts at both its smaller concert halls and larger venues: Teatro Gayarre, Navarra Arena and the Baluarte conference centre and auditorium. Finally, from the 6th to the 14th of July the unique and endearing Festival of San Fermín turns Pamplona into the place to be both for partying and culture of the highest order for locals and visitors of all types and ages. All these things and many more make Pamplona a capital full of history and stories with a highly distinctive identity, the fruit of its historical relevance and age-old culture.

Although the San Fermin festival was made globally famous by Ernest Hemingway, it has been celebrated since time immemorial, held in honour of Saint Fermin, the co-patron saint of Navarre. The most iconic part of the celebration is the encierro, or running of the bulls, which takes place each morning between the 7th and the 15th of July. The encierro features hundreds of runners that dodge bulls as they barrel down the narrow streets, thrilling participants and spectators alike. Aside from this daily event, however, the festival is defined by the non-stop revelry that consumes this otherwise sleepy provincial capital over the course of the week.

  • Pamplona Running of the Bulls the Experience of a Lifetime
    PAMPLONA RUNNING OF THE BULLS THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME Pamplona Tours EXPERIENCE CULTURE. MYBUCKETLISTEVENTS.COM By Bucket List Events PAMPLONA-TOURS.COM Welcome to the First Step of Your Experience of a Lifetime. Every summer over 1 million people gather in Pamplona (Iruña), Spain from July 6th – 14th to witness and partake in the world renowned San Fermín Festival, also. The 9 day celebration originated as a religious festival to honor Saint Fermín, who is the co-patron of the region of Navarre, where Pamplona is the capital. The festival is comprised of parades, wood chopping competitions, folk dancing, music, bull fights, and of course, the running of the bulls (encierro). Originally, the fiesta was held on October 10th but has since been changed to July 6th for chances of better weather. Beginning in the 20th century, the running of the bulls has become the most popular part of the festival. This idea dates as far back as the 15th century when the only route to get the bulls from their corral to the bull ring would be through the city streets. Over time people began to run alongside the bulls and as Spanish tradition goes, the bull-run became a bit of a competition. Herders would excite the bulls through the streets to speed up the march. Soon people began to run ahead of the bulls for their own excitement, thus the Running of the Bulls was born. The San Fermín Festival reached heightened popularity outside of Spain in 1926 when Ernest Hemingway published the novel The Sun Also Rises.
