  The economics of spectacles takes centre stage

  Throughout history, festivities are either praised (propaganda) or criticised as being wasteful in terms of the use of time and money. But little is known about the economic realities of the production of public and private ceremonial and entertainment. In this context, the EU-funded SPECTACLECONOMICS project will explore the economic realities of the production of public and private ceremonial and entertainment in early modern France. It will consider the gap between 'real' expenses and 'fictional' expenditures, which is akin to the gap between reality and theatrical illusion. The findings will shed light on the economics of spectacle at a transnational and European level.
