Carnival Texts Jacob T. Schwartz

Carnival Texts Jacob T. SchwartzThis book comprises three related dramatic works, all of which use Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of carnival, a literary style designed to subvert dominant assumptions through chaos and humour. The texts blur the distinction between spectator and performer in an exploration of physical, moral and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age.
