Abstract(s)
Tendo como inspiração a famosa expressão de Max Weber sobre o "desencantamento do mundo", neste artigo refere -se a crescente secularização do Natal, o acontecimento, que dividiu a história do mundo e dos homens em antes e depois. Compara-se a actual festa laica com as celebrações tradicionais – a propósito das quais se referem autores como Leite Vasconcelos e Júlio Dinis - e conclui-se que o Natal se mercantilizou. Contudo, verificamos que, sendo dramática a situação em que vivemos, tanto mais necessitamos de ouvir o "rumor de anjos" e de celebrar a festividade religiosa do Natal.
Inspired by Max Weber's famous expression "the disenchantment of the world", in this article we refer to the growing secularization of Christmas, the event that divided history between before and after. When we compare recent secular festivities with the traditional celebrations, that authors like Leite Vasconcelos and Júlio Dinis describe, we conclude that Christmas has been merchandized. Yet, in the dramatic conditions we are living nowadays, we can assume that er need all the more to hear the "rumour of angels" and to celebrate the religious festivity of Christmas.
