Dispossessed Farmers: and Symbolic Power.
Agriculturalists forced to abandon farming are led, in the face of their agricultural community, to express symbolically their continued participation in rural activities, perpetuated in partial aspects. The meaning of these agricultural rural symbols is invers- ed by the active farmers, who read in them the mark of the urban values they themselves adhere to. This double illusion is linked to the fact that their village is still a major reference for the dispossessed farmers, whereas the active farmers identify with the town and the industrial society that englobes and transforms them. Rural women are the vectors of urban values and their vision coincides, reinforces and probably guides that of the active agriculturalists in their modernist attitudes, and accelerates the process of change. Individually, the ex-farmer plays out a private and intimate symbolic game, either in the country or in town, by concentrating on various items of the lost agricultural world. The intensity of the external symbolic game depends on the structure of the social relations of production specific to the rural collectivity within which they are enacted.
