Cultural Emancipation of the Peasantry

Alija Hodžić ; Institute for Social Research of the University of ~agreb, Zagreb, Croatia - Yugoslavia

Abstract

The city mediates and reflects the total social experience in many ways. The modern peasantry,
motivated by the principle of utility, receives selectively and with reduction both its
own tradition, and stimuli emitted by the city. It reproduces its own subculture »freedboth
of its own tradition and of the facets of modem life. It is a culture of authentic
inauthenticity, because on one hand the peasantry has lost the totality of its experience,
and on the other, it is not capable of participating in the universal values of the modern
world. Here the universal appears in its reduced form, as unification, and therefore the
cultural emancipation of the peasantry is necessarily partial.
