A Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2019 This book documents and
discusses the meaning(s) of the creative process at play in the
crafting and staging of circus acts. It highlights the experience
of circus artists as their skills develop and mature into public
performances that create aesthetic and emotional values in the
modern economy of live spectacles. It scrutinizes the meaning that
circus acts produce for the spectators and for the artists
themselves who live this process from the inside. This is a book
for those studying semiotics and wanting to see it applied to a
real life milieu in accessible and passionate prose. The Meaning of
the Circus is grounded on the personal experience of Professor Paul
Bouissac as both a circus entrepreneur and a researcher with
decades of primary material on the significance of past and
contemporary circus acts. It is based on substantial accounts
provided by many men and women who have agreed to share the
challenges, joys, and anxieties of their life as artists. Personal
and rigorous, it contributes to the hermeneutics of the circus arts
by adding existential depth to the production and reception of
their performances.
