To view camp as the communal, historically dense exploration of a variety of reparative practices is to be able to do better justice to many of the denning elements of classic camp performance: the startling, juicy displays of excess erudition, for example; the passionate, often hilarious
antiquarianism, the prodigal production of alternate historiography; the "over"-attachment to fragmentary, marginal, waste, or leftover products; the rich, highly interruptive affective variety; the irrepressible fascination with ventriloquistic experimentation; the disorienting juxtapositions of present with past, and popular with high culture.

Macpherson's Gaels supplied a native, non-classical pantheon of heroic forebears (<< nos ancetres, les Gaulois >>) during the Republican and Napoleonic eras; Dawson traces Ossian's post-Napoleonic eclipse by the more reliably indigenous figure of Vercingetorix, Gallic nemesis of Julius Caesar, once French
