    Mique also designed a frivolous Chinese inspired structure built in 1776 called the ‘Jeu de Bague’. This was a small red and silver coloured merry-go-round, which had carved wooden seats in the form of peacocks for the ladies and dragons for the men. As it turned on its axis sounds would emanate from small egg-shaped bells suspended from under its cupola. In 1781 Marie Antoinette had a semi-circular pavilion built behind the Jeu de Bague to provide better shelter from the elements for her guests. The Jeu de Bague was built in the English garden of the small Trianon palace, which had a basement passageway constructed to connect the Jeu de Bague’s pavilion directly to the small palace itself.…

    A Method to the Madness: Understanding the Politics of Irrigation in the Andes. Paul Gelles, Water and Power in Highland Peru: The Cultural Politics of Irrigation and Development is an interesting take on the evolution and adaptation of the indigenous traditions surrounding irrigation water in the Colca valley of Peru. Gelles describes how traditional systems of irrigation coexist and compete along modern, government-sponsored models. The main focus is on how “competing structures of power and meaning are conceptually mapped onto the communities’ irrigation system over the course of its annual agricultural cycle” (Gelles, 2).
