Condición: Neu. Early Modern Festivals and Messages of Legitimacy. Edited [and introduced] by Peter Davidson and Jill Bepler. Eleven papers address early modern European festival culture. They describe aspects of festivities or ceremonies organized by individuals or groups whose power base was threatened or non-existent. A central question is the complexity of the term "defeated". The contributions investigate the cultural strategies which minorities exploited. - The papers go back to a conference held at Wolfenbüttel in May 2005, which set out to examine examples of festivities and ceremonies organized by individuals or groups whose power base was threatened or non-existent: refugees, confessional groups, minorities and women. A central question is the complexity of the term "defeated". The contributions investigate the cultural strategies which minorities exploited in order to underpin their claims to legitimacy and retain their identity in the face of a hostile or indifferent environment. -- Aus dem Inhalt: Dietrich Briesemeister: The New World on Display.
