Abstract

Abstract The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the event industry, while offering it opportunities to reinvent itself. Reviewing some of Getz (2012) futurist thoughts, is part of this reinvention process. This study concludes that: (a) Future Proposition 2 is accurate (b) Future Propositions 1 and 7 need precisions, and as a result has been reformulated as follow: New Future Proposition 1: Planned, live events, both personal and societal in scale and meaning, will always be a prominent feature of civilization, in all societies and cultures. However, in time of pandemics or other crisis, live events might be perturbed, before a staggered return to normal under certain conditions, and strict controls. New Future Proposition 7: As travel and tourism collapse, possibly because of the cascading effects of global warming, another energy crisis, war terrorism or global pandemics, events will also collapse temporarily, but will remain important globally because they meet fundamental human needs. On top of Getz (2012) future thoughts, this study suggests additional Future Propositions.

2019冠状病毒病:回顾事件研究中现有基础理论的机会

摘要2019冠状病毒病疫情的爆发给赛事行业带来了负面影响，但也为其提供了重塑自我的机会。回顾一些Getz(2012)的未来主义思想，是这个重塑过程的一部分。本研究的结论是:(a)未来命题2是准确的(b)未来命题1和7需要精确，因此被重新表述如下:新的未来命题1:在所有社会和文化中，有计划的、现场的事件，无论是个人的还是社会的，在规模和意义上都将永远是文明的一个突出特征。然而，在大流行或其他危机期间，现场活动可能会受到干扰，然后在某些条件下逐步恢复正常，并进行严格控制。新的未来命题7:随着旅行和旅游业的崩溃，可能是由于全球变暖、另一场能源危机、战争恐怖主义或全球流行病的连锁效应，事件也将暂时崩溃，但仍将具有全球重要性，因为它们满足了人类的基本需求。在盖兹(2012)未来的想法之上，本研究提出了额外的未来命题。
