Farce, both literal and metaphorical, is a central concept in many disciplines. This volume explores in a timely manner and reinforces the role of concealment in the construction, expression and representation of marginalized identities and in undermining the easy distinction between "real" identity and image.

The book is multidisciplinary in approach, encompassing a variety of cultures and narrative voices. It offers provocative and accurate ways of thinking about masquerading as a tool for building, and a tool for criticism.

The subjects were questioned topics such as: mask and carnival fashion fetish illegitimate stigma femininity as masquerade masks gay masks through clothing in the Jewish folk theater mask in the 17th and 18th centuries in London and the nineteenth century France sound as a mask.

I want that book.
