Abstract

Through its historical account of the Confédération Paysanne (CP)'s origins and early years (France), this paper explores the ways in which ‘peasant’ discourses are shaped by non-peasant understandings of what ‘being a peasant’ should mean. As we shall see, far from reflecting an innate and immutable ‘peasant’ way of being or seeing, references to ‘peasantness’ and ‘peasant farming’ act as discursive tools to both unite a heterogeneous activist base (composed of marginal and marginalized farmers) and advance organizational interests. This requires the CP – and its predecessors – to respond to a series of external constraints. In the course of this paper, we shall also show how academics play an important mediating role in the process of constructing or adapting the CP's ‘peasant’ discourse.
说的比做的更有说服力:“农民”的维度是confastimacry Paysanne对工业化农业的替代方案
通过对《确认法》的起源和早期(法国)的历史描述,本文探讨了“农民”话语是如何被非农民对“成为农民”应该意味着什么的理解所塑造的。正如我们将看到的,“农民性”和“农民农业”的提及远没有反映出一种固有的、不可改变的“农民”存在或观察的方式,而是作为话语工具,既团结了异质的活动家基础(由边缘和边缘化的农民组成),又促进了组织利益。这就要求中央银行及其前身对一系列外部约束作出反应。在本文的过程中,我们还将展示学者如何在建构或适应共产党的“农民”话语的过程中发挥重要的中介作用。

期刊介绍: A leading journal in the field of rural politics and development, The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS) provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world. It fosters inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, contested and transformed. JPS pays special attention to questions of ‘agency’ of marginalized groups in agrarian societies, particularly their autonomy and capacity to interpret – and change – their conditions.
