Nánar:
In Scotland and elsewhere, key points in the calendar, such as New Year and the beginning of Lent, are often marked by a contest between two opposed entities. An example would be a contest between one side idenitifed with summer versus one representing winter. The outcome of this contest would be "fixed" - after all, we can hardly have winter winning a contest which is intended to mark the beginning of the light half of the year.
However, many contests appear to have no winners or losers, and the two opposed entities are in fact two halves of the same community.
The lecture explores the nature and significance of seasonal contest and will draw upon examples from Scotland, England... and Japan.
