Through his study of the Koyemshi, and his considerations on the "sacred," Cazeneuve has contributed to the elucidation of the problem posed by the clowns and more generally that of the violation of taboo.²⁴ ... anthropologists have also noted that clowns break taboos, though less clearly perhaps than Cazeneuve.
