Sommario/riassunto

If, as David Guss argues, culture is a contested terrain with constantly changing contours, then festivals are its battlegrounds, where people come to fight and dispute in large acts of public display. Festive behavior, long seen by anthropologists and folklorists as the ""uniform expression of a collective consciousness, is contentious and often



subversive,"" and The Festive State is an eye-opening guide to its workings.
