However, when organised at grassroots level, may retain subversive character, revealing intentions to cross the limits urban normality. By drawing on ethnographic data, this article explores carnival Metaxourg...

Let f be a transcendental entire function and U be a Fatou component of f . We show that if U is an escaping wandering domain of f , then most boundary points of U (in the sense of harmonic measure) are also escaping. In the other direction we show that if enough boundary points of U are escaping, then U is an escaping Fatou component. Some applications of these results are given; for example, ...
