Carne Vale, 'goodbye to flesh', plays on the Christian roots of Carnival, the religious festival before the solemnity of Lent when meat is given up. It hints at Christian notions of body which devalue physical being and oftentimes view it as the site of sinfulness and temptation. It argues that Caribbean women have subverted and continue to subvert such negative valuations by engaging in carnivalesque masquerade that revalues bodies, especially colonised female bodies. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Sexuality & Culture is a copyright of Springer, 2011.
