Bounding the Borders: claiming space and making place in rural Scotland

Auteur :
SMITH, S.J.

Description :
Collective behaviours have been conceptualized as forms of ritual rebellion and are frequently linked with the strategies of marginalized urban minorities. This paper, based on the celebrations of a dominant majority in the rural Borderlands of Scotland, argues that the carnivalesque is of wider significance and, in doing so, exposes the relational qualities of marginality and the ambiguity of the mainstream.
