Sažetak
A new step in the interpretation of Carnival period is possible in the controversial scope of biopolitics, adapting the theories given by R. Girard and G. Agamben. Taken biopolitically, Carnival is a double-edged blade: it can help the oppressor to reduce or to redirect the political tension, and it can help the oppressed to endure the pressure – or to oppose and protest unpunished. The Carnival use of bare (or naked) life and human body against the norms and social conventions is obvious. .The impact on the ruling order is only a matter of measure: a successful vaccination or a deadly poison.
