Pierre and Marie-Claire Bourdieu : Peasant and photography.
The study of attitudes towards photography as object or practice, constitutes an excellent method for seizing up peasant values in their specificity. The photographic picture made by a professional photographer was accepted very early (as early as 1900) in as much as it served socially approved purposes in solemnising important moments of collective life. On the contrary, the practice of photography is violently opposed not so much as an innovation but frivolous and town-like, it seems to defy the fundamental principle of peasants morality which prohibits the pursuit of difference for difference's sake. Lastly the spontaneous aesthetics expressed in the posture adopted for the photographic picture is no other than a dimension of peasant aesthetics, it refers back to the moral code which rules daily relations in peasant society.
