dc.description.abstractEnMardi Gras is unquestionably one of the largest celebrations in Louisiana. Yet, many versions of the celebration exist among the different communities. It has become a codified ritual for the local communities, embracing a feeling of unified cultural identity and tradition. Among the descendants of the Acadians, colloquially known as the Cajuns, Courir de Mardi Gras, as the event is called, has been taking place for over a century and remains a token of a shared ethnic commonality around the art of amusement. In some rural areas of Southwest Louisiana, the participants make their own costumes and meticulously manufacture their own masks. Disguise is essential for them to hide and engage in a guessing game with their audience while procuring a space for role reversal and entertainment embedded in the tradition of the carnival. As regards the disguise and the mask, Cajuns appreciate the cultural heritage that their ancestors have preserved for centuries. To wear a mask is to make a statement of Cajun ethnic endurance and pride, as well as a tribute to the culture.
