La fête est la plus fugace des oeuvres collectives. Elle ne produit rien. Dans le dernier feu du carnaval, elle brûle ses propres traces, elle consume ses propres symboles. D'où la tentation de discourir à perte de vue sur ce vide, de le remplir de son propre désir. Ce livre essaie d'échapper à ce vertige. Ce moment où toute l'existence devient comme un théâtre, ce moment où chacun se montre en se déguisant, il fallait le donner à voir. Charles Camberoque, le photographe, et Daniel Fabre, l'ethnologue, ont regardé ensemble les mêmes fêtes dans les villes et villages du Languedoc et aussi d'Andorre et de Catalogne. Leurs visions se conjuguent. Chacune ouvrant ses propres perspectives, elles rendent à la fête une authenticité et une complexité surprenantes. Après sa première parution en 1977, ce livre a connu un destin inattendu. Dans les mascarades de rue, sur les planches du théâtre, sur les écrans de cinéma, il est venu étayer la renaissance multiple du carnaval. Cette deuxième édition, refondue et mise à jour, tient compte de cette aventure. Sans reprendre par le menu une histoire proche, elle pose un double regard sur la fête en ses élans nouveaux.

Spanish villagers tell many folktales that describe in metaphorical language the struggles of young men and women as they emerge from their parental families and join in love. In this book James Taggart presents dozens of orally transmitted tales, including "Snow White," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," "Blancaflor," and dragonslayer stories, collected from seven villages in the region of CNBceres, and analyzes the differences in male and female approaches to telling them. His study shows how men and women use the tales to grapple with some of the contradictions found in gender relations in their culture, which conditions men to be sexually assertive and to marry virgins and which teaches women to fear the men who court them. Taggart interprets the male-female dialogue voiced through storytelling by linking the content of specific tales to the life experiences and gender of the storyteller. Men and women, he finds, carry out an exchange of ideas by retelling the same stories and altering the plots and characters to express their respective views of courtship. This indirect narrative dialogue conveys an understanding of the opposite sex and establishes a common model of marriage that permits men and women to overcome their fear of each other and bond in heterosexual love.
