Abstract

In the view of an American journalist like John Berendt, contemporary Venice is a sort of world-upside-down where the rules that govern human lives elsewhere do not apply; the category of the Carnivalesque, as originally formulated by M. Bakhtin, appears as s the most appropriate to define both the city itself and its quirky inhabitants
