Dieses Buch uber Fest und Feier setzt sich mit zahlreichen Festtheorien auseinander und geht der Frage nach, warum es Feste in der Moderne nicht mehr gibt. Denn obwohl uberall Feste gefeiert werden, sind sie doch nicht mehr wie fruher Feste, die alle Menschen eines Stammes oder eines Gemeinwesens beanspruchten und den Alltag fur einen bestimmten Zeitraum vollig ausser Kraft setzen konnten. Das ist in der Moderne (und Postmoderne) nicht mehr moglich, sondern in der Gegenwart werden Feste und Feiern unter anderen Voraussetzungen und mit veranderten Bedeutungen gefeiert. Die hier vorgelegte theologische Theorie von Fest und Feier nimmt diese Entwicklung auf und bedenkt, dass Feste und Feiern mehr bedeuten, als ein wenig vom Alltag abzulenken: Sie sind grundlegende Handlungen, die den Sinn des Daseins stiften und zu vergewissern vermogen.[Festivals and CelebrationsA Theological Theory]This book on festivals and celebrations discusses numerous theories on celebrating and addresses the question why in our modern times there are no more celebrations. For while there are numerous reasons to celebrate, these events are not like the feasts of former times that claimed every member of a tribe or community and could bring everyday life to a standstill for a certain period of time. In modern (and postmodern) times this is no longer possible; nowadays celebrations take place under different conditions, and their significance has changed as well. The theological theory of festivals and celebrations presented here takes up this development and suggests that festivals and celebrations mean more than a little distraction from our daily routine: They are fundamental acts which give significance to our existence and affirm life as meaningful.
