Cultural Emancipation of the Peasantry

Alija Hodžić

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 "freed" both of its own tradition
and of the facets of modern life. It is a
culture of authentic inauthenticity,
because on one side 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.
