Taylor & Francis
Carnival has been described as one of the foundational elements of European culture, bearing an emblematic and iconic status as the festive phenomenon par excellence. Its origins are partly obscure, but its stratified and complex history, rich symbolic diversity, and sundry social configurations make it an exceptional object of cultural analysis. \nThe product of more than 12 years of research, this book is the first comparative historical anthropology of popular European Carnival in the English language, with a focus on its symbolic, religious, and political dimensions and transformations throughout the centuries. It builds on a variety of theories of social change and social structures, questioning existing assumptions about what folklore is and how cultural gaps and differences take\n\nRituality and Social (Dis)Order\nThe Historical Anthropology of Popular Carnival in Europe\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail ;
