Festive Traditions in Modernity: The Public Sphere of the Festival of the ‘Fallas’ in Valencia (Spain)

2002

Festive sociability is central for the transmission of tradition and is a fundamental field of interaction between the festive tradition and modernity. This sociability has a reflexivity and a public sphere of its own. The dominant modernist opposition between tradition and modernity is questioned with the help of a recent study of the Fire Festival of the ‘Fallas’ (Valencia, Spain).
