Problems on Enquiries in Rural Communities
This article is a translation of the annex to .the book “La fin des paysans” entitled “Du bon usage des techniques dans les anquetes rurales”.
The author discusses the difficulties arising during enquiries in rural communitiesin the light of the differences existing between peasants and town dwellers, between the rural and urban manner of living, and between individual rural areas.
The article offers suggestions on how to establish contact with the persons covered by an enquiry, how to interview them, and how to obtain the required information and then interpret it
Peasant Values
Mnogi su autori Izgradili sliku seljaštva kao homogene
socijalne klase, u kojoj su glavne vrijednosti:
ljubav na zemlji, privrženost porodici i nepovjerenje
prema vanjskom svijetu.
H. Mendras u ovom prilogu tumači kako je to pojednostavljen
pogled na seljačke vrijednosti, koji
nije primjenljiv na sva seljačka društva. Ima, naime,
područja i u samom mediteranskom basenu gdje
seljaci nisu zaljubljeni u svoju zemlju. Porodična
privrženost ima svoje naličje u žestokim unutarporodičnim
rivalstvima i sukobima, a nepovjerenje
prema strancima ne mijenja seljačku gostoljubivost
prema svakome tko izvana dođe u selo. Ideologija,
tj. pogled na svijet, ima veliko značenje u ponašanju
seoskih stanovnika, pa promjena vrijednosti
može prethoditi drugim važnim promjenama u seoskom
društvu.
Suprotno ukorijenjenom shvaćanju o tvrdokornosti
seljačke rutine, ponašanje evropskih seljaka pred
modernizacijom pokazalo je da oni relativno brzo
mijenjaju svoje navike osjete li prednosti promjene
i imadu li sredstva da je ostvare.Many authors have built up a picture
of the peasantry as a homogeneous
social class, whose main values are:
love of land, loyalty to the family, and
distrust of the outside world.
In this contribution H. Mendras explains
that this is a simplified view of
peasant values, which cannot be applied
to all peasant societies. There
are regions, even in the Mediterranean,
where peasants do not love their land.
Family loyalty has shown its other
face in bitter inter-family rivalry and
conflict, and although they do not
trust strangers, peasants are nevertheless
very hospitable towards anyone
who comes into the village from outside.
Their ideology, i. e. their view
of the world, is very important for
the behaviour of village inhabitants,
and changes of values can precede
other important changes in the rural
society.
in spite of widespread opinions about
the pertinacity of peasant routine, faced
with modernization European peasants
change their habits relatively
quickly if they can envison the advantages
of change, and if they have the
means to realize it

Fluctuations et tendances longues des valeurs et des idéologies
[eng] Fluctuations and Trends Among Values and Ideologies Henri Mendras Is it possible, some twenty years after 1968, to assess the that have affected the values, beliefs and ideologies in the World ? In some fields, opinions have changed more than whereas in others behaviour has changed while ideas have surprisingly stable. A comparison between the United States, and France brings out both some common trends and major differences. The development of individualism and the easing of relations has changed the role of authority. The value attached to family appears everywhere to be increasing. [fre] Près de vingt ans après 1968 peut-on évaluer les changements intervenus dans les valeurs, les convictions et les idéologies en Occident ? Dans certains domaines les opinions ont plus changé que les comportements, dans d'autres les comportements évoluent et les idées restent étrangement stables. Une comparaison entre les Etats-Unis, l'Europe et le France met en relief des tendances communes et des différences majeures. Le progrès de l'individualisme et l'assouplissement des rapports sociaux entraînent une transformation de l'autorité. Partout la valorisation de la famille et du foyer s'accentue.
