W poszukiwaniu użytecznej tradycji. Kilka uwag o krakowskich Targach Bożonarodzeniowych

Ryszard Kantor

Abstract

For nearly 30 years the Christmas Fair has been the largest event taking place in the Main Square in Cracow; it lasts for a little over a month, from late autumn to winter, i.e. from late November to Christmas. The Fair is a new event, referring to the European models. It is an event with a clearly ludic character; its existence has become possible only after the Advent as the period of pious reflection underwent degradation in the Polish culture. The Fair in Cracow is a spectacular product of contemporary ludic culture, the culture of fun and consumption
