Abstract

ABSTRACT This video-paper aims at exploring the atmospheric dimensions of carnivalesque consumption. Drawing on non-representational methodologies and on an historical approach we examine how the distinctive atmosphere of the Saint-Romain Fair is produced and experienced. We theorise funfairs as atmospheres of popular culture and identify an assemblage of external and internal elements that shape but also disrupt the supposedly immersive atmosphere of the fair. Our research shows how the atmospheric disruptions can be linked to the socio-spatial tensions surrounding the location of the fair over the years. It also demonstrates how popular culture materialises intangibly and offers new ways of collecting data and producing knowledge from it.
