Bruxelles Racine 2013 Relié, cartonnage d'édit. sous jaquette originale, 240pp., 25.5x29.5cm., richement illustr. en couls., en très bon état. Comme neuf. ISBN 9782873868536. Comme le corps d'un gigantesque dragon enfoui sous la terre, la colline de Mons frémit chaque année à la fin du printemps. Plus de deux cent mille personnes circulent dans les étroites rues médiévales et se livrent à un étrange corps-à-corps le temps d'un weekend. Quatre épisodes rituels s'y déroulent immuablement : la Descente de la châsse de sainte Waudru, l'émouvante patronne de la cité ; la Procession, suivie de la Montée du Car d'or et, enfin, le Combat dit Lumeçon qui oppose Georges, le saint chevalier, au Dragon. Chercheurs et organisateurs se sont unis pour offrir une plongée vivante dans l'univers de la Ducasse rituelle de Mons, inscrite par l'UNESCO au patrimoine oral et immatériel de l'Humanité. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, est sans aucun doute le plus ambitieux et le plus complet jamais rédigé sur le sujet. Il retrace l'histoire, décrit les gestes et explique le rôle social de ce rituel collectif venu du fond des âges. Qui était sainte Waudru ? Que sait-on de saint Georges ? Pourquoi une fête de dédicace à Mons ? D'où vient l'air du Doudou ? Quelle est la symbolique du Dragon ? Des réponses qui raviront les passionnés d'histoire et les curieux de folklore. / Un travail colossal et formidablement exhaustif, d'une lecture accessible à tous. Une plongée vivante dans l'univers de la Ducasse. Chaque année, Mons est en liesse. Quatre épisodes rituels se déroulent durant le week-end de la Trinité : la Descente de la châsse de sainte Waudru, la Procession, la Montée du Car d'Or et enfin le Combat dit Lumeçon. Mais qui sont sainte Waudru et saint Georges ? Comment la Ducasse a-t-elle évolué depuis le Moyen Âge ? Comment descend-on la châsse ? Chercheurs et organisateurs se sont unis pour vous faire découvrir l'univers de la Ducasse et répondre à toutes vos questions.…
