Définition

  • A global event refers to a large-scale, mass-mediated collective happening that may be planned or unexpected, with limited duration and significant transformative capacities that reach well beyond its physical location. Known variously as mega-events, public events, hallmark events, televised spectacles, or simply public rituals, such planned occasions are spectacular demonstrations of the power to rationally design and then meticulously perform in a controlled way the planned order of collective human activity, in a particular place, during a specific period of time, on an ever growing scale.
