Abstract

An attempt is made to interpret a clown act, a musical entree, as it was performed in various European one-ring circuses during the earlier part of this century. This interpretation relies on the fact that clowns, as circus actors, attempt to re-create the ordinary, everyday world in a ludic form by scrutinizing our expressions of what is ordinary and everyday. In effect, clowns “defamiliarize” many of our habits of perception. In this way clowns are saying something about our everyday world in a way in which their audience can reflect and thereby come to a better understanding of the world in which they live.
欧洲一环马戏团的小丑表演
试图解释一个小丑的行为,一个音乐的主菜,因为它是在本世纪初的各个欧洲单环马戏团表演。这种解释依赖于这样一个事实,即小丑作为马戏团演员,试图通过审视我们对平凡和日常的表达,以一种滑稽的形式重新创造平凡的日常世界。实际上,小丑使我们的许多感知习惯“陌生感”。通过这种方式,小丑以一种观众可以反思的方式讲述了我们的日常世界,从而更好地理解了他们生活的世界。
