    The Twenty-First-Century Reinvention of Carnival Rituals in Paris and Cherbourg: Extending the Boundaries of Belonging Via Politicized Ritual

    THE POLITICS OF CARNIVAL The Twenty-First-Century Reinvention of Carnival Rituals in Paris and Cherbourg: Extending the Boundaries of Belonging via Politicized Ritual Monika Salzbrunn University of Lausanne, France KEYWORDS ABSTRACT Carnival Carnival as a research object has been studied from a multiplicity of perspectives: folklore Bœuf Gras studies, European ethnology, social and cultural anthropology, history, sociology, etc. Each Paris of these disciplines has enriched the literature by focusing on different aspects of the event, such as its participatory nature, its transformative potential (at an individual or collective level), Cherbourg and its political dimension broadly conceived. The present article reviews this scholarship and political anthropology uses it to analyze the contemporary Parisian Carnival, which has tried to revive the nineteenth- folklore studies century Promenade du Boeuf Gras tradition on a local and translocal level through its creative collaboration with the carnival of Cherbourg, Normandy. I argue that, through satire and other politicized carnival rituals, the recent protagonists of Parisian Carnival (Les Fumantes de Pantruche) have reinvented the festivities and influenced Norman Carnival, thus extending the boundaries of belonging in both cities.

    Winter Magic!

    Winter Magic! 1 TEACHER’S EDITION Bon Vivant Educational Tours, Your Partner in Education Educational tours are often the first trip away from home for many students. That is why we create quality tours that will leave a long-lasting impression. At Bon Vivant, we strive to ignite a passion for travel and learning through fun-filled activities and contact with the French language and culture. 2 Our objective is two-fold... Through educational travel, 1 we seek to inspire students to pursue their French language education and to help them develop into global citizens. We strive to facilitate the 2 tour-planning process by offering flexible, personalized and professional service. 3 e believe that travel complements learning and encourages students to become active, responsible and open-minded citizens. Using Wthe Essential Graduation Learnings for Atlantic Canada as a framework, we develop educational units that complement the regular curriculum, and prepare students for their upcoming tour through meaningful and fun-filled activities. We also believe that educational travel, with its real-world contact with history, language arts, mathematics, science and art, inspire students to become lifelong learners. For each unit, we have identified the specific curriculum links. We have also integrated the four components of the French Immersion program1: 1. Appreciation of the French Language and of Cultural Diversity; 2. Listening and Oral Expression; 3. Reading and Viewing; 4. Writing and Representing. Recognizing the importance of the 3 levels of congnitive taxonomy (knowing/applying/integrating) and the value of resource based learning, we have conceived activities that we hope will encourage students to get involved in preparing for their school trip and thus enhance their overall educational travel experience.

    The Michelin Twins: Kings of Carnivals, Festivals and Parades

    CHAPTER 17 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. THE MICHELIN TWINS: KINGS OF CARNIVALS, FESTIVALS AND PARADES Michelin’s promotional actions based on public exhibitions of Bibendum as an incarnation of the prod- uct and brand, common in automobile shows and industrial fairs, also found fertile ground for the character in popular festivities. Carnivals were especially propitious, being a (temporary) subversion of established order, with their costumes and masks, processions of floats and dances, all held in a climate of debauchery, transgression and transformism. It was the ideal setting for idiosyncrasy and the strong personality of the exhibitionistic and feisty Bibendum at the beginning of the century. Among other bizarre figures and references that were either historical or linked to the present, Michelin’s corporate mascot was in his element participating in parades, providing both humor and controversy. Bibendum’s performances in the traditional Carnivals of Nice or the Mi-Carême of Paris—transformed into a gigan- tic inflated figure—served as an excellent letter of introduction to embark on a transatlantic trip and deploy his skills as Michelin’s ambassador in American lands. 1. Bibendum … an only child? The first public appearance of a corporeal Bibendum took place at the 1898 Exposition Internationale d’Automobiles in Paris. It dealt with a large bust that presided over the Michelin stand, based on the two-dimensional graphic description of the character illustrated by O’Galop for a poster designed a few months earlier.

    337 REVIEW Ferreira, Felipe. L'invention Du Carnaval Au Xixe Siècle

    REVIEW Ferreira, Felipe. L’Invention du carnaval au XIXe siècle: Paris, Nice, Rio de Janeiro. Translated from Portuguese by Patricia A. Ramos Reuillard and Pascal Reuillard. Geography and Culture series. Paris: L’Harmattan, 2014. 276 pp. EUR 28.50 (paperback), ISBN 978-2-343-04313-5 Aurélie Godet Université de Paris, France The literature on Carioca carnival (and Brazilian carnival in general) is copious, as the bibliography located at the end of this volume reminds us. The originality of historian Felipe Ferreira’s contribution lies in its reliance on transatlantic comparison to analyze the festival’s evolution from 1840 to 1930. Admittedly, cross-cultural comparison has long been favored by scholars working on festivities. However, it has often served to reinforce more than to challenge the accepted boundaries between cities, regions, nations, and cultures. In his well-known Carnivals, Rogues, and Heroes: An Interpretation of the Brazilian Dilemma (1991), anthropologist Roberto DaMatta thus used New Orleans carnival as a foil for Rio carnival, leading him to gloss over aspects that did not fit his conclusion that “in New Orleans, carnival permits the creation of a hierarchy and a gradation among normally equal spaces, while in Rio de Janeiro, a city in which domains are normally arranged hierarchically, carnival makes fragmentation of these domains possible, creating an opening so that the entire city becomes filled with carnivalesque possibilities.”1 Unlike DaMatta, Ferreira takes the three carnivals that he studies—Paris, Nice, and Rio de Janeiro— seriously, devoting an extensively researched chapter to each.2 Rather than merely contrasting them, he points out the many ways they influenced one another, or more exactly, how Carioca KEYWORDS carnival cherry-picked elements from both in order to devise a distinctive festive form rooted in the particular geography and history of the city.
