[Dancecult-l] Change of PhD direction- refs for party logistics info

[charles de Ledesma]

Hi everyone, my PhD focus has changed from a more general overview of the pys trance phenomenom to a tigher anatomy of a party situation. To this end I'm now looking at theoretical stuff  like Latour's 'Action-Network-Theory', virtual communities, network society, Hetherington's development of the heterotopia, occcasionalism and utopia concepts,and the like. 
   
  But, has anyone seem study/papers on the logistics of party-making or even better, any theory on the 'party-process'? I like the idea of looking at this process (abstract or in situ) as a 'collection of technologies' building the scene for the arrival of the communitas-laden moment ...any leads??Of course, this doesn't need to be just from the land of psy trance....
   
  Graham - what was that book on Burning Man you showed me one steaming afternoon in Portugal?  
   
  Regards, Charlie in London.
