Abstract

In 2011, Portugal, suffering the impact of the 2008 crisis, both for internal and external reasons, requested financial assistance from the Troika (IMF/ECB/EU). The Portuguese experienced company bankruptcies, cuts to salaries and pensions, rising unemployment and job insecurity and difficulties in paying their mortgages. Despite severe austerity programs and formal exit of the Troika, Portugal failed to reduce public debt. In this article, after giving a brief overview of development models, we will focus our attention on the impacts of the crisis in rural areas and the diverse perceptions of crisis by different groups and families. As a case study, we will consider the strategies employed by residents of a parish in the municipality of Barcelos (Braga, Minho), to reduce the damage caused by the crisis. Against the mainstream liberal perspective and the traditional Marxist thesis we sustain that rural people adopt an attitude of resiliency in relation to the austerity program and on the basis of empirical qualitative research methods we can witness creative familial strategies to survive: migration, exploiting the potentialities of the land, taking advantage of artisanal and commercial opportunities in order to cope with the difficulties caused by the crisis.
危机及其对乡村空间居民的影响——以葡萄牙西北部一个村庄为例
2011年,葡萄牙受到2008年危机的影响,出于内部和外部原因,向三驾马车(IMF/ECB/EU)请求财政援助。葡萄牙人经历了公司破产、工资和养老金削减、失业率上升、工作不稳定以及难以支付抵押贷款。尽管实施了严厉的紧缩计划,并正式退出了三驾马车,但葡萄牙未能减少公共债务。在本文中,在简要概述了发展模式之后,我们将重点关注危机对农村地区的影响以及不同群体和家庭对危机的不同看法。作为一个案例研究,我们将考虑巴塞罗斯市(布拉加,米尼奥)教区居民为减少危机造成的损害所采取的策略。与主流的自由主义观点和传统的马克思主义论点相反,我们坚持认为,农村人民对紧缩计划采取了一种弹性的态度,在实证定性研究方法的基础上,我们可以看到创造性的家庭生存策略:移民,利用土地的潜力,利用手工业和商业机会,以应对危机造成的困难。
