Culture, tradition and modernity -- Part 2. Screen images of rural struggle -- Part 3. Culture, class struggle and travel.Using examples from different historical contexts, this book examines the relationship between class, nationalism, modernity and the agrarian myth. Essentializing rural identity, traditional culture and quotidian resistance, both aristocratic/plebeian and pastoral/Darwinian forms of agrarian myth discourse inform struggles waged 'from above' and 'from below', surfacing in peasant movements, film and travel writing. Film depictions of royalty, landowner and colonizer as disempowered, ‘ordinary’ or well-disposed towards ‘those below’, whose interests they share, underwrite populism and nationalism. Although these ideologies replaced the cosmopolitanism of the Grand Tour, twentieth century travel literature continued to reflect a fear of vanishing rural ‘otherness’ abroad, combined with the arrival there of the mass tourist, the plebeian from home.Studies in critical social sciences ;Volume 64.PeasantsSocial conditionsRural conditionsSocial classesCulture conflictPolitical aspectsCulture conflict in motion picturesCulture conflict in literatureTravel writingHistoryAgriculture and politicsAgricultureEconomic aspectsCapitalismPhilosophyElectronic books.PeasantsSocial conditions.Rural conditions.Social classes.Culture conflictPolitical aspects.Culture conflict in motion pictures.Culture conflict in literature.Travel writingHistory.Agriculture and politics.AgricultureEconomic aspects.CapitalismPhilosophy.305.5/633Brass Tom1946-940628MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458335403321Class, culture and the agrarian myth2133922UNINA
