Carnival and community. 330 $a"The entire town is disguised," declared a French tourist of eighteenth-century Venice. And, indeed, maskers of all ranks-nobles, clergy, imposters, seducers, con men-could be found mixing at every level of Venetian society. Even a pious nun donned a mask and male attire for her liaison with the libertine Casanova. In Venice Incognito, James H. Johnson offers a spirited analysis of masking in this carnival-loving city. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the world view of maskers, both during and outside of carnival, and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity. 410 0$aACLS Fellows' Publications. 606 $aMasks$zItaly$zVenice$xHistory 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xHistory$y1508-1797 610 $aactors. 610 $aanonymity. 610 $aaristocrats. 610 $aarlecchino. 610 $acarnival. 610 $acasanova. 610 $aclass hierarchies. 610 $aclass. 610 $acommedia dell arte. 610 $acultural history. 610 $adisguise. 610 $adissimulation. 610 $aeuropean history. 610 $afashion. 610 $agambling. 610 $agoldoni. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahonor. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aincognito. 610 $aitaly. 610 $amasked theater. 610 $amaskers. 610 $amasking. 610 $amasks. 610 $amasquerade. 610 $amaterial culture. 610 $amorality. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aperformance. 610 $apleasure. 610 $arank. 610 $areputation. 610 $asecrets. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asociety. 610 $astatus. 610 $atheater history. 610 $aunmasking. 610 $avenetian society. 610 $avenice. 615 0$aMasks$xHistory. 676 $a391.4/340945311 700 $aJohnson$b James H.$f1960-$01006604 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248318103316 996 $aVenice incognito$92316809 997 $aUNISA
