Integration and Desintegration of Rurality (A contribution to defining the concept of rurality)
Mladen Stojanov
Abstract
The author considers that
modern agriculture must establish
new basic integration, i. e.
transform the inherited type of
integration suitable for traditional
agriculture. Research into the
process of integration and
disintegration must necessarily
be preceeded by a more precise
identification of the village, of
rurality, through a section of
internal relations in the peasant
society itself and through a section
of the global social system.
Rurality consists of the direct
social relations global society
makes possible or imposes, of the
measure to which global society
limits or abolishes rurality. With
the penetration of capital,
agriculture grows above
subsistence and self-sustenance
production and becomes an
economic activity. Thus capital
becomes a new foundation for the
integration and disintegration of
agriculture and the village.
