КРАТКА ИСТОРИЈА НА ТРИ РАЗЛИЧНИ КАРНЕВАЛИ И НИВНАТА СОЦИОЛОШКА ФУНКЦИЈА
Short History of Three Different Carnivals and their Social Function

Summary/Abstract: This text provides an overview of the origin and history of the carnival through the religious, sociological, aesthetic, cultural and historical aspects, on example of three European cities; Venice (Italy), Rijeka (Croatia) and Strumica (Macedonia), and although geographically located relatively close, each of them has its own customs wich have been retained until these days (whether it be masks and costumes or food and drinks consumed during that period) but they also have changed and adapted over time and today the mythological and religious connotations are already quite forgotten, while in the second part text provides an overview of the function of the mask, the phenomenon that has existed since prehistoric times (the oldest mask character The Wizard was created on a rock in a cave in the Pyrenees, from the Stone Age) for which the Greeks, from where the carnival traces their roots keep repeating that ‘carnival without masks is like bread without flour’.
