Conclusion

As the examples each explain the differences and resemblances of the different types of festivities, I would like to point out here the lessons we can learn from the production of public space by these activities.

First of all I would explain the manifestation of Bourgeoisie’s role in the creation of public space in relation to the festivities. What is already became clear now that many of these actions being influenced by the part of society which has greater power than the nobles. At this period of time, the Bourgeoisie ruled over many aspects of life in Europe. Many of which contribute to the use of particular activities as celebrations and the places hosted them. As generators of the society, they motorized the public movements, change their common senses. These actions in some case succeed overruling many regulations and using their sovereignty as a way to influence the common views.

Secondly, I would highlight the festivities characters, types of space being created, activities they did and it’s characteristic. As we already know from the above discussed study cases, each of these spaces was a temporarily public space, which was usually open air space. In some cases, they used private space, but the meaning of this space became public. However, most of them were already considered public owned, like the street, park, etc. If we concluded their characteristic, it would depend on their grounds of celebrations. Their resemblances in space were mostly, mass used space, the free ambiance and the changing of norms during the revolution age. This affected the actors of the celebrations in spontaneous and hedonistic oriented actions.

At last I would like to mention that the public space creation in 19th century Europe were characterized by the Bourgeoisie’s views. It is my suspicion that many of these festivities being politicized by their course of actions. To conclude, it may be a long research to proof that there are these tendencies, but my simple investigation proof that they were the ideals of this part of society being implemented in their act of festivities.
