The term "carnivalesque" refers to a literary and cultural concept that embodies the spirit of carnival, characterized by chaos, humor, and the subversion of social norms. It often features elements like exaggerated behavior, playful interactions, and a temporary suspension of hierarchies, allowing people to express their true selves without societal constraints. This concept is closely associated with the works of Mikhail Bakhtin, who analyzed the role of carnival in literature and society. In carnivalesque settings, traditional roles and expectations are turned upside down, creating a space for creativity, freedom, and the celebration of the grotesque.
