Résumé :
By its very nature the clown, as represented in art, is an interdisciplinary phenomenon. In whichever artform it appears - fiction, drama, film, photography or fine art - it carries the symbolic association of its usage in popular culture, be it ritual festivities, street theatre or circus. The clown, like its extended family of fool, jesters, picaros and tricksters, has a variety of functions all focussed around its status and image of being other. Frequently a marginalised figure, it provides the foil for the shortcomings of dominant discourse or the absurdities of human behaviour.
