Description

Explore the deep cultural significance of the circus through the eyes of a leading authority. In Circus as Multimodal Discourse, author Bouissac presents a unique theory that views the circus as a secular ritual. This academic work introduces a specific method to analyze circus performances as multimodal discourse, helping readers understand how meaning is created and shared. Across fifteen detailed chapters, the book examines various circus specialties, including magic, acrobatics, clowning, and both domestic and wild animal training. By looking at these diverse elements, the text demonstrates how circus performances produce and amplify cultural meaning. This research is built on a massive foundation of ethnographic and semiotic studies conducted over a 50-year period across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in performing arts, semiotics, and the sociology of ritual.
