Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays pageants often take the form of parades of effervescent young women competing for popular recognition in hyped up media events. However, these “beauty pageants” are a mere pastiche of the elaborate historical parades of the medieval period that took significant, social, religious, or civic events and their protagonists, as subjects. Pageants were historically characterized by resplendent costuming and elaborate processions that were often given to much pomp and ceremony. Pageantry has formed an important part of the civic life of most societies, both ancient and modern, serving a variety of cultural and political purposes. The use of drama and public spectacle as an instrument of civic, social, and religious activism has recently become the focus of renewed academic inquiry. The essays in this interdisciplinary anthology provide carefully researched insights into the phenomenon of pageantry over the centuries and across broad cultural boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The roughly chronological structure of this book celebrates the diversity of spectacles and locations rather than grouping such activities together under the heading of one country or city, or according to one sub-genre or another of waterborne occasions. Each chapter makes a distinctive contribution to the description and contextualisation of the waterborne occasion or occasions on which it centres. Each, too, discusses or hints at the political, economic, social and cultural reverberations of such events in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe."--Introduction, p. 7.

Download or read book Outdoor Ceremonies and Pageants Classic Reprint written by Al G. Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outdoor Ceremonies and Pageants The outdoor ceremony differs from the outdoor pageant in that the ceremony is connected with a special holiday or date, whereas the pageant is scheduled and given as is needed and convenient. Special days and dates suitable for ceremonies include Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, etc. Ceremonies can also involve special presentations of awards, state fair activities, receptions for visiting dignitaries, the inauguration of the Sesquicentennial year, the closing of the Sesquicentennial year, and other similar events. The advantages of the outdoor ceremony over the in door ceremony lie in the fact that there are no limitations as far as stage size, lighting, or scenery are concerned. Neither are there any natural limitations as to the size of the audience as dictated by the number of seats, amount of available space, or other similar considerations.
