O presente texto pretende entender alguns fenómenos sociais emergentes – fast feasts, subway parties, flash mobs, zombie walks, free hugs, quase todos surgidos em países de língua inglesa, mas presentes em todas as sociedades – no quadro de uma teoria da quotidianização da festa, segundo a qual, as classes urbanas mais afluentes, libertas das tarefas da produção de bens materiais, na sua função de agentes da transformação cultural, não se cansam de inventar novas formas festivas de lazer. Na impossibilidade de dar conta de todos os factos e circunstâncias que favoreceram o seu desenvolvimento, privilegiam-se os eventos de maior impacto e visibilidade sociais, muitas vezes porque estranhos e provocatórios. Tenta-se igualmente perceber em que medida alguns destes fenómenos começam a ritualizar-se, o que permite entrever o modo como os comportamentos se codificam e as culturas se transformam e estruturam.
This paper aims to comprehend some emerging social phenomena – fast feasts, subway parties, flash mobs, zombie walks, free hugs –, most of them originating in English speaking countries but present in all societies. The theoretical support for this understanding is that the affluent classes, free from the necessity of producing material goods, increasingly apply their function of cultural changers to the everyday and inventing new forms of festive leisure. Given the impossibility of accounting for all the facts and circumstances favouring this development, we study the events with greater social impact and visibility often due to their strange and provocative nature. We also seek to understand the way in which some of these phenomena are ritualized enabling us to gain a glimpse into the way social behaviour is codified and cultures are changed and structured.
