Festas e rituais com que vivemos: nivelamento ou diferenciação?
Abstract
Festivals, an age-old phenomena in traditional societies, are in al cultures the object of the most varied descriptions and anthropological interpretations. For some people, the festival is a manifestation of great importance in the accomplishment of the human needs of both individual and social well-being. The ideal festival is the one which is characterised by the allowed excess, transgression and the social paradox of purification and renovation. For some others, the party must be the affirmation of an accomplishment approprinte to the new era, obeying the principles of the utilitarian rationalism, and to technical and bureaucratic planning. Tradition and modenity, festival and work are dicotomical relations, which complete each other in the creation of present day rituals and festivals.
