“…The concept of embodiment addresses various scales and ties up the physicality of a space to intangible aspects like social behaviour (Peterson, 2010). These theories also connect to concepts explored in Critical Regionalism and are related to memory and identity, and can lead towards development of a critical dialogue.…”

“…It may not merely be a style, as labelled by Shadar, 2010, but it definitely lacks strong social connect. On the other hand, built form designed and analysed with a different vantage point, as offered by anthropologists and geographers (Peterson 2010;Sheppard and McMaster 2003;Marston et al 2005;Low and Lawrence 2003), may address this lack of social connect, but its contribution towards climatic response and development of an architectural aesthetic for newly Colonised nations should not be underestimated (Abel, 2000;Frampton, 1983;Lefaivre & Tzonis, 2012).…”

“…This understanding then needs to be connected to larger economic, social and physical realities and political ideologies. This is the approach taken by urban anthropologists and the literature by Peterson (2010), Marston, Jones, & Woodward (2005), Low & Lawrence-Zúñiga (2003), Sheppard & McMaster (2003) are some examples. Some anthropologist, when discussing the concepts of space and place, have a 'flexible and mobile conception of space, one that speaks to how space is produced historically and physically and came to be in its current material form, but also how it is created by bodies in motion, embodied dreams and desires, and social interaction and environmental interrelations' (Giesking, Mangold, Katz, Low, & Saegert, 2014: 2).…”

“…Does this intangible aspect of the built form help develop the language and aesthetic characteristics of the built form? (Peterson, 2010;Sheppard & McMaster, 2003) • Connection with pre-existing urban morphology and context: In order for the built form to gel in with the given context, and connect with local identity, is it important for it to be connected with the aesthetic and functional language of the larger urban scale, in terms of open-built ratios, built up density and the skylines. This links to the debate generated by theorists on globalism-localism and the idea of scale (Sassen, 2012;Marston, Jones, & Woodward, 2005) • Development of a critical dialogue: If a built form that fulfils the prerequisites for Critical regionalist theory, will it have a larger aesthetic impact, which will go beyond the age and boundaries of the building itself, and will it connect with the larger context, and promote a critical dialogue with theoretical discussions and literature with the ability to evolve, change and adapt?…”

“…The aesthetic elements would primarily be defined by proportions, scale, shape, and other design elements like texture, colour and, balance. of space can be decoded and the association with the built form on a daily basis can be comprehended (Peterson, 2010).…”

Critical Regionalism, as a theory, stresses on contextual connection of built form in terms of its link to society, physicality and climatic response. It is critical of nostalgic interpretation and representation of built form in countries which have remained colonies. The theory around Critical Regionalism, at times, is also shunned as merely a 'style', lacking evolution and social connect with the local context. Although Critical Regionalism as a theory is restricted to a certain scale and typology of buildings, its contribution beyond the built form itself is little researched. Thus, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of public buildings, three universities, at Karachi which were designed around the concepts propagated by Critical Regionalist theory. This analysis is carried out within the larger debate of globalisation and localisation. The key factors focused are the response to climate, society, development of local aesthetics, connections with memory and identity and local urban morphology.Another aspect of analysis attempted through review of theories of other disciplines, geography and anthropology, is aimed towards drawing lessons in terms of research methods and vantage points which can inform Critical Regional theories. A case study methodology, along with ten qualitative interviews of architects and a focus group, has been used to generate data. The findings point towards the valuable contribution of these buildings in terms of climate, social and aesthetic response, and the limitations in terms of replicability to other building typologies and lack of establishment of a critical dialogue with larger community.

The articles in this special issue of JSAM originated as contributions to a seminar session at the 2017 SAM conference in Montréal. After meeting a growing number of music scholars who were researching festivals from a variety of disciplinary and methodological orientations over the prior five years, I wanted to provide a forum for festival research at SAM that went beyond a standard conference paper. As a contemporary popular music scholar and ethnomusicologist, much of the research I was encountering examined modern pop festivals, particularly those situated in Western neoliberal capitalist contexts: the rise of massive (and massively profitable) electronic dance music (or EDM) events, the importance of festivals in the live music economy, or the "festivalization of culture" discourse, for example. 1 Festivals are big business in EDM, rock, and pop music, as music industry scholars and pop culture observers have been telling us since at least the early 2000s. 2 Mythic events loom large in popular music's history: Bob Dylan unplugging at Newport in 1965; the US debuts of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Ravi Shankar, and the Who at Monterey Pop in 1967; the romantic utopia of Woodstock in 1969, later undermined by the violence at Woodstock 1999 and the cancellation of Woodstock 50 in 2019; and the tragic violence at the Altamont Speedway at the end of 1969. The popularity of annual destination events in Europe in the 1980s (such as Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Reading and Leeds, Rock im Park, and Roskilde) and touring festivals in the United States in the 1990s (such as Lilith Fair, Lollapalooza's first iteration, Ozzfest, and Warped Tour) set precedents for the emergence of massive events like Bonnaroo, Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Lollapalooza's current iteration, Ultra, and others. Although sales of recorded music declined in the early 2000s, and revenue from digital downloads and streaming have never fully compensated for that drop, the success of festivals indicates that fans and listeners are still passionate consumers of music. Major festivals-many of which are as much fashion and social events as they are music events-have become important sources of income for performing artists and sites of music industry gatekeeping. This narrative represents the popular perception of music festivals. But music festival studies have much more to teach us beyond the health of entertainment industries under neoliberal capitalism. Festivals existed before Newport and Woodstock; they exist for genres other than EDM, rock, and pop; they support small scenes as well as host the largest audiences; and not all festivals are focused on profit. First at the seminar in Montréal and now in this special issue of JSAM, my overarching goal
