AbstractLes populations des régions himālayennes dissocient mal le comique du sacré. Cinq catégories principales de clowns et de farceurs interviennent dans la vie cérémonielle et les fêtes collectives : les bouffons/faiseurs de tours, les clowns brāhmanes ou ascètes hindous, les clowns atsara tibétains, les bouffons chamaniques et les démons personnifiés. Ces personnages comiques s'apparentent aux puissances surnaturelles. Ce sont des figures équivoques, ambiguës, à la fois inquiétantes et attirantes, qui font sauter en éclats les frontières, renversent les statuts et introduisent un vent de liberté. Elles effrayent les mauvais esprits, plaisent aux divinités et concourent aux rituels de fertilité. Ces représentations appartiennent aux aspects les plus savants du religieux. The populations of the Himalayan regions do not neatly dissociate the comic from the sacred. Five main categories of clowns and tricksters take part in ceremonial life and in collective festivals : jesters/magicians, Brahmins or Hindu ascetics, Tibetan atsara clowns, shamanic jesters and personified demons. These comic characters are closely related to supernatural powers. They are equivocal, ambiguous figures, at once frightening and enticing, who overturn roles and stir up the winds of liberty. They frighten away evil spirits, placate divinities and oversee fertility rituals. These representations are among the most erudite aspects of the religious realm.
