		Posted by: Donald R. McClarey at May 27, 2005 5:44:12 PM The clown is probably semiotically a variant of the Trickster in various cultures, the liminal figure that inhabits, e.g., the transgressive festivals like Mardi Gras.
		Clowns evoke unpleasant thoughts, I suspect, because all of the rules of society are switched off when you're in the presence of a clown.
		Posted by: Clarabel at May 28, 2005 11:57:24 AM Andrea, the fear of the clown figure is, I think, a lot older than the idea of the clown as a symbol of innocent fun.

	Aggravated DocSurg: Clowns in the OR
		According to this report, a new Italian study has found that the presence of a clown in the operating room may help to ease the anxiety of young patients and their parents.
		As it turns out, the study reported that the clowns were successful in distracting the patients until anesthesia was induced, and that the clown's presence "significantly reduced anxiety levels for both child and parent." I'm not sure how the anxiety level was measured, but I'm pretty sure it had to be a fairly subjective evaluation.
		Another example of this type of thinking is displayed by those who advocate the presence of family members in the trauma resuscitation room (i.e., while a critically injured patient is being cared for).

		The identity of the clown varies from story to story: in one he is an escaped mental patient, in another, a schizophrenic “midget,” and in another, an escaped murderer.
		Some versions make no mistake about the clown’s victims; they illuminate pedophilic undertones by stating that the children complain to the parents not only about the presence of a clown, but that a clown has actually touched them at night.
		Although the babysitter tales differ from the story of the Clown Doll with respect to the villain and plot details, they are very similar when it comes to looking beneath the surface at the social significances of the legend.

		Each of the four PANs is carefully interwoven within the film ic mise-en-scene and functions as a visual preparation for the last two sequences (the banquet and the funeral/ascension sequences) in which the accumulated tensions are finally released through a ritualised display of brutality.
		In both cases, the presence of Young Lucius is given a prominent dramatic function and represents a major departure from the Shakespearean text, which affords virtually no part to Titus's grandson.
