Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to show the growth of the Carnival comedy, the form which the secular drama assumed in medieval Germany, from its earliest beginnings to its culmination in the Fastnachtsspiele of Hans Sachs. It is generally assumed that the secular plays grew out of the comical scenes which had early been introduced into the serious plays. Dr. Rudwin claims an independent origin for the comedy. Just as the Church drama developed out of Christian worship, so the secular drama, the author maintains, originated in the heathen ritual. He then attempts to reconstruct the ancient pagan rites out of the few fragments which have persisted until the present day among the European peasants. He proceeds in much the same way as a scientist reconstructs a dynosaur from the most meagre osseous remains. It is a most ingenious work; and what surprising analogies the pagan beliefs and practices show to Christian creed and cult! This part of the book will interest chiefly the students of the history of religion. The Carnival, the author maintains, was not instituted by the Church. It is of pagan origin. The word "carnival" is not derived, as is generally assumed, from Latin carnem levare, the removal of flesh as food, but from carrus navalis, the ship-cart, which played a very important part in Carnival processions for centuries, and which may still be seen in the modern float. The ship had no relation to the sea, but was a symbol of femininity and hence of productivity. In addition to this ceremony were other charms intended to bring about, through "mimetic" magic, the revival of the earth-the death and resurrection of the fertility god, the burning or burying in effigy of Death or Winter, the bringing in of Life or Summer in a tree or branch procession, and the like. In all these magical rites we see the elements of drama, for the leaf-clad mummer is impersonating the vegetation demon. This masked performer the author considers as the originator of the rough and ready comedy of contemporary men and manners. Very soon the ritual acts, it is claimed, were supplemented by comical scenes in which certain individuals among the spectators were imitated. The Carnival comedy is of country origin, but developed as an art when it later came into the hands of the burghers. In the course of its development it absorbed all the ludi of the Feast of Fools and of the Feast of Boys, the spectacula of the medieval minstrel, the successor to the Roman mimus on the one hand and the Germanic scôp on the other, and was moreover influenced in its literary form by the Church play. This influence, however, was mutual. The sacred and secular plays of the Middle Ages influenced each other to such a degree that it is very difficult to state in definite terms on which side was the greater debt. The similarities between the two types of medieval drama became so great toward the end of the fifteenth century that they imperceptibly merged into each other. To draw a well-defined line of demarcation between the two would thus be a difficult task. -The Open Court, Volume 35 [1920]

This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Cultural Studies - Empiric Cultural Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Bonn, language: English, abstract: "Kölle Alaaf" is the battle cry for the kickoff to the Cologne Carnival session. In the year 1733, Kölle Alaaf first appears as praise and drinking phrase. It means 'just Cologne'. In this essay, I will have a deeper look at the relation between the historical Cologne Carnival in its beginnings and the modern Carnival in 2010. For this, I will talk about the Carnival Session itself to demonstrate what the story is behind the six days of Carnival. The Thursday is no usual weekday anymore, but the start of a week in which Cologne is in an exceptional state. Furthermore, I would like to focus on the question of the roots of the Cologne Carnival and the misinterpretation thereof and how this is still common today. To compare the beginnings of the Cologne Carnival with the one today, one needs a historical point of view. Insofar, I have studied the history of the Cologne Carnival and examined the most significant events. My main attention lies with the human interaction and behavior, the exercised customs and the further development of the tradition of Cologne. At the end of my essay, I will show the main characters of the Cologne Carnival. This essay should answer the question of what the Cologne Carnival means today. The focus is on my main question “How does the Cologne Carnival in the 21st Century differ from its beginnings?” This essay leads you through the history of the Cologne Carnival and how its forms developed. The conclusion will give you an overview over my worked out insights.

Download or read book Public Performances written by Jack Santino and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Performances offers a deep and wide-ranging exploration of relationships among genres of public performance and of the underlying political motivations they share. Illustrating the connections among three themes—the political, the carnivalesque, and the ritualesque—this volume provides rich and comprehensive insight into public performance as an assertion of political power. Contributors consider how public genres of performance express not only celebration but also dissent, grief, and remembrance; examine the permeability of the boundaries between genres; and analyze the approval or regulation of such events by municipalities and other institutions. Where the particular use of public space is not sanctioned or where that use meets with hostility from institutions or represents a critique of them, performers are effectively reclaiming public space to make public statements on their own terms—an act of popular sovereignty. Through these concepts, Public Performances distinguishes the sometimes overlapping dimensions of public symbolic display. Carnival, and thus the carnivalesque, is understood to possess tacit social permission for unconventional or even deviant performance, on the grounds that normal social order will resume when the performance concludes. Ritual, and the ritualesque, leverages a deeper symbolic sensibility, one believed—or at least intended—by the participants to effect transformative, longer-term change. Contributors: Roger D.
