This article considers three interwoven series of phenomena in the recent history of the Mediterranean: it tries to grasp elements connected with the fields of cultural tourism, the heritagization of local festivals, and performance, in order to show how local festivals are today transformed into new economic resources confronted with new global issues and perspectives.  a10163476 (ISSN)
