  • Spring Break in the Florida Panhandle, 1938-2018 Nuno F
    The Cultural History of a Break: Spring Break in the Florida Panhandle, 1938-2018 Nuno F. Ribeiro, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Vietnam Part harmonic convergence, the result of millions of teenagers coming of age in a time of rebellion and affluence, and part hormonic convergence, a coming of age in a society saturated with sexual images, the Florida beach perfectly matched generation and lifestyles. Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach, and Panama City Beach were reinvented to fit an American rite of passage. —G. R. Mormino (2005: 316) Introduction In its simplest form, Spring Break is nothing more than a week-long vacation period, typically held in the early spring, recognized as such by administrators of colleges and universities across North America, and providing a respite from classes, exams, and the cold weather. But spring break is also a multi- billion-dollar tourism phenomenon that encompasses the yearly migration of thousands of college students towards a small number of sunny beaches in the Southern United States, chief among them Florida. Spring break is generally associated with the consumption of alcohol in excess, reckless behavior, and a relaxation of sexual mores, in a no-holds-barred atmosphere of unlicensed leisure, or what the New York Times dubbed “Spring Bacchanal” (Marsh 2006). More than forty scholarly articles (for a review, see Ribeiro and Hickerson 2012), and encyclopedia entries (Gianoulis 2000, Ribeiro and Hickerson 2017, Russell 2004) have been published on the topic, in addition to thousands of media pieces, news articles, op-eds, and reports by advocacy and interest groups. Novels, films, television shows, and even a handful of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations have been devoted to spring break.

Yarnal Associate Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee E. Paul Durrenberger Professor of Anthropology Robert W. Schrauf Professor of Applied Linguistics Garry E. Chick Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Professor of Anthropology Head of the Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT To what extent does culture, taken as the set of normative beliefs that individuals use to live their lives within a given context, correspond with actual behavior? Furthermore, are self-reported accounts of behavior sufficient to ascertain the veracity of informants‘ claims, particularly in the case of socially reproachable behavior? While culture undoubtedly influences behavior, individuals do not always behave in accordance with the cultural beliefs they purport to subscribe to, nor do they always report past events accurately. The problem is compounded when one looks at out-of-the-ordinary behaviors, like those that occur in leisure-based phenomena such as carnivals, festivals, and holidays. A paradigmatic example is Spring Break, a leisure phenomenon usually associated with extreme types of behavior.

  • Won Awards Participated In
    Won Awards Participated in The Independence Day Celebration Committee (IDCC), a 501(c)3 organization, and the City of Fairfax welcome you to our 51st July 4th parade celebrating our Nation’s birth with the theme “Volunteers Light Up Fairfax”. Minutes from the Nation’s Capital, this independent city offers an attractive blend of commercial, office, retail, and residential properties combining the charm of a small town with the opportunities of a thriving urban area for the more than 20,000 that call the City of Fairfax home. The City of Fairfax was selected by Forbes Magazine in 2009 as #3 in the nation of the 25 top towns for living well – it is also a wonderful place to live and raise a family. A nationally recognized school system, a healthy residential real estate market and access to outstanding health care are among the advantages cited by residents. In 2011 the National Recreation and Parks and Association (NRPA) awarded the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department a Gold Medal Award ‐ the most prestigious award in the field of parks and recreation ‐ only one of four agencies in Virginia to have won this award since its inception in 1965. Proud of our historic buildings including the site of the first Confederate fatality of the Civil War, we have the largest, most fascinating collection of Civil War graffiti in the nation along with the lore of spies and secrets. Whether it is shopping, dining, cultural arts, festivals, or events as well as the world‐famous GMU Patriots basketball team, you’ll find something exciting to do year round in our City’s friendly, safe environment.
