The Semiotics of Clowns and Clowning: Rituals of Transgression and the Theory of Laughter
ISBN: 9781472532787 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the last 300 years circus clowns have emerged as powerful cultural icons. This is the first semiotic analysis of the range of make-up and costumes through which the clowns' performing identities have been established and go on developing. It also examines what Bouissac terms 'micronarratives' - narrative meanings that clowns generate through their acts, dialogues and gestures. Putting a repertory of clown performances under the semiotic microscope leads to the conclusion that the performances are all interconnected and come from what might be termed a 'mythical matrix'. These... During the last 300 years circus clowns have emerged as powerful cultural icons. This is the first semiotic analysis of the range of make-up and co... |

The Education of a Circus Clown: Mentors, Audiences, Mistakes
ISBN: 9781137554819 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1960s American hippie-clown boom fostered many creative impulses, including neo-vaudeville and Ringling's Clown College.

Layering critical reflections of personal experience with connections to wider scholarship, Carlyon focuses on the work of clowning...
