Tres ensayos sobre el significado y la simbología del carnaval: Umberto Eco, V. V. Ivanov y Mónica Rector se sumergen en las formas de la fiesta carnavalesca y examinan la naturaleza de su sentido transgresor, las figuras emblemáticas y sus relaciones de contenido, el código y el mensaje de la fiesta, el mundo al revés, la catarsis. Más que un libro de erudición, es un libro de celebración.

Amor y desamor, enfermedad y curación, maternidad y deseo son los hilos conductores que cruzan los relatos de este libro. En sus páginas, la historia de las emociones, el cuerpo y el individuo moderno muestran la complejidad y la diversidad de la construcción y experiencia de la femineidad en un reino americano, mestizo y barroco como fue la Nueva España.
