Book Description
Do you ever wonder about the life of otters? Do you know where they sleep? Do you want to learn about their social behaviors, diet, or how they swim through the water so gracefully? Anything and everything you ever wondered about these curious creatures can be found in this easy to read, informative book. The wonderful pictures included in this book have captured some of the many reasons people are drawn to these adorable animals over the years. I have personally worked with many different animals, and I can honestly say that otters are genuinely one of the most interesting of the animal kingdom. Once you read this book, you will understand why I, as well as many others, have a fascination with otters. Laurie Aleixo, DVM, Fort Pierce, Florida

The Semiotics of Clowns and Clowning
Author: Paul BouissacPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472525086
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
During the last 300 years circus clowns have emerged as powerful cultural icons. This is the first semiotic analysis of the range of make-up and costumes through which the clowns' performing identities have been established and go on developing. It also examines what Bouissac terms 'micronarratives' - narrative meanings that clowns generate through their acts, dialogues and gestures. Putting a repertory of clown performances under the semiotic microscope leads to the conclusion that the performances are all interconnected and come from what might be termed a 'mythical matrix'. These micronarratives replicate in context-sensitive forms a master narrative whose general theme refers to the emergence of cultures and constraints that they place upon instinctual behaviour. From this vantage point, each performance can be considered as a ritual which re-enacts the primitive violence inherent in all cultures and the temporary resolutions which must be negotiated as the outcome. Why do these acts of transgression and re-integration then trigger laughter and wonder? What kind of mirror does this put up to society? In a masterful semiotic analysis, Bouissac delves into decades of research to answer these questions.
