Some academic has published an article entitled Occupy Wall Street: Carnival Against Capital? Carnivalesque as Protest Sensibility which talks a lot about local anarchists and other unruly carnivalesque factions, such as the Krewe of Eris, local professor John Clark's writings, and it even mentions this very blog, if we may humbly admit. It discusses the Occupy Wall Street movement and it's adaptations of carnivalesque qualities in it's recent actions against the ruling oligarchy.

While no doubt just another piece of notch in the author's belt on their attempt to climb the heights of the vacuous, dangerous, and bankrupt institution of the academy, perhaps some locals will appreciate insights it draws out about carnival and rebellion.
In the same vein, the local newspaper in Lafayette wrote an op-ed connecting the Occupy Wall Street movement to the traditions of Mardi Gras which turn social hierarchies upon their head for a while called Rich or Poor, We All Occupy Mardi Gras. While they admire the inclusiveness of Mardi Gras, perhaps it would have been better demand more than just feigning illusory gestures by the ruling elites in the form of bead and dubloon throws which the article applauds. For the 99% of this state to have any chance at a free existence, we must demand the very real re-distribution of wealth (and it's attendant power) out of the hands of the motherfuckers who currently control our lives in a very un-carnvialesque and totalitarian way, unless you want to count OPP as some type of House of Horror themepark funhouse, that is.
