Ämnen: Onlineresurser: Sammanfattning: The book which we are delivering into the hands of our readers presents the results of research by cultural studies experts and sociologists. It goes well beyond simply describing the history of circus arts – it also places them in a broad social, anthropological and cultural context. … It turns out that a circus – this sort of mediocre entertainment for children and "commoners" – is deeply rooted in our history and culture. To this day, it fascinates and inspires. It is subject to transformation – its most modern forms are a far cry from the market stall of yore. Of course, the collection of texts presented here is by no means exhaustive or complete in its treatment of the subject matter. It seems, however, that in the context of scant Polish-language literature devoted to circus arts, the book may provoke discussion on this topic and could also be the first step towards recognizing circus arts as worthy of attention by performing arts researchers.
