This review presents an analysis of British sociologist Chris Rojek’s book Event Power. Through critical writing, the author shows how large world events such as music festivals and sporting events are built nowadays. Much more than major popular expressions, such events should be understood as forms of social and ideological control. In times of major sporting events in Brazil such as FIFA World Cup 2014 and the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics, this work provides a critical outlook over the construction of this type of event.
