Blending FACT with FICTION
For those of you who haven't read the book, it has two timelines: one in the present day, when Jacob, the protagonist, is stuck in a nursing home; and one at the height of the Great Depression, when he lands on a rickety train circus and finds himself in love with both a woman and an elephant named Rosie. The first thing I did was contact the archivist at Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. (the original home of the Ringling brothers), and she sent me a bibliography of suggested reading. To my immense surprise, the main museum focuses on fine art rather than the circus (rumor has it that whenever Mabel Ringling got angry at John Ringling, she would buy increasingly expensive pieces of increasingly gory religious artwork-a doubleedged punitive sword).

Circus of dreams
\"The traveling Medici Bros. Circus is made up of a ragtag group. There's Miss Atlantis, the resident mermaid, who is trying to find her voice. And Rongo, a stongman juggling more duites than he can keep track of. There's also a brokenhearted family in need of some healing: Holt--a former Stallion Star and war veteran; his daughter, Milly--a budding scientist with little interest in taking up the family act; and her little brother Joe--a clumsy kid who longs to be in the ring. But everything changes for the circus when a little elephant with a unique talent comes onto the scene. And when the Medici Bros. Circus joins with V. A. Vandevere's elaborate Dreamland, they're all thrown into a new world--one that might not be as ideal as it appears\"--Back cover.

DWARFING DIFFERENCE: Deformity at the Threshold of the Visible in Bemberg's \I Don't Want to Talk About It\
Dans le film I Don't Want to Talk About It, de María Luisa Bemberg, la difformité et le carnavalesque convergent pour offrir un portrait de l'Autre qui est à la fois sensible et potentiellement habilitant au niveau politique. A l'intersection des dynamiques du regard et de l'inscription de la difformité, le film dénonce les insuffisances inhérentes aux taxonomies traditionnelles du grotesque. Le film invite le spectateur à relativiser la notion de différence et à chercher de nouveaux paradigmes reliés à la difformité qui ne se limitent pas aux idées d'homogénéité et d'idéal essentialiste.
