Pageants and Processions
Author: Herman du Toit
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443815071
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
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.

Waterborne Pageants and Festivities in the Renaissance
Author: Margaret Shewring
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9781409400233
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"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.
