Kurzbeschreibung

This project seeks to investigate the early modern carnivalesque cultures in France and Italy from a comparative perspective, considering these within the dramatic context of performed masculinity. Put on stage by traditional societies of merry men (compagnies joyeuses/gaie compagnie) who were institutionally solicited to organize the festive events in urban settings, the carnivalesque drama is perceived in both the narrow sense of a theatrical play as well as in the broad sense of a ritual drama (V. Turner) not as a universal space of subversion strictly opposed to the official (M. Bakhtin), but as a gendered liminal space of constructing masculinity through a substantial palette of burlesque performances.
