However, the origin of that impulse, clowning with a circus, has largely gone unexamined. David Carlyon, through an autoethnographic examination of his own experiences in clowning, offers a close reading of the education of a professional circus clown, woven through an eye-opening, sometimes funny, occasionally poignant look at circus life. Layering critical reflections of personal experience with connections to wider scholarship, Carlyon focuses on the work of clowning while interrogating what clowns actually do, rather than using them as stand-ins for conceptual ideas or as sentimental figures.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Circus; Clown; improvisation; interaction; performance; apprenticeship; Ringling; Barnum; America; clown; come | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137547439 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-57507-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-54743-9Series ISSN 2947-5767 Series E-ISSN 2947-5775 | issn_series | 2947-5767 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
