Russell Crowe’s talents were globally recognized in the early 2000s after he appeared in a slate of well-received films – L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, among others – that earned him critical acclaim. Nevertheless, in the years following these productions, he has continued to be a part of numerous projects with international and creative appeal. Alongside his films are his associations with Roman soccer teams – established in Spera’s (2023) chapter in my recent volume on Gladiator (https://vernonpress.com/book/1213) – his social media presence, and his musical performances.

Samuel Beckett’s drama may not be yet mapped as a site of carnival; nevertheless, the Beckettian dramatic ecosystem is open to a sense of the carnivalesque. In Europe and the northern Americas, the carnival tends to be understood as a secularised Christian tradition, the religious roots of which are enshrined in the epistemology of the word. Originating from the Latin carnem levāre – the removal of the flesh (OED) – the carnival used to be a festive threshold leading into the frugality and modesty of Lent. Yet, such grassroots street performances have thrived beyond this limited cultural, historical and geographical frame.

SPECIAL ISSUE – Art and Imagination: Philosophical Issues
Though some have dismissed the imagination as “the junkyard of the mind,” just about all artists will vouch for the fact that the imagination is not just essential but also central to the arts. This is true not only of the creation or production of artworks, it is the case also when it comes to the reception or experience of art.

the proliferation of accessible technologies. This democratisation of media has empowered both amateur and professional creators to
express their artistic visions through the cinematic medium.
