Call for Papers for Rural History 2021 Session S10:
Class differentiation in contemporary rural societies
The main objective of this session is to delve into the study of changes in social differentiation in rural societies throughout the contemporary history, to understand the extent to which the process of peasant ownership or peasant proletarization affected such differentiation. In a way, our aim is to retake or draw links with that debate on the transition from feudalism to capitalism, and the historiographical interest in that object of study. We are also interested in the study of the possible specific changes motivated by civil wars, genocides and post-war famines that, as a hypothesis, seem to have accentuated social inequality within communities. We welcome investigations that address the reconfigurations of class differentiation during the processes of intensification of capitalist relations of production in the Second World War, at that time of modernization, deruralization and migration to urban and industrial areas. Studies from all continents are welcomed, with special interest in European and Latin American case studies. The comparative look will undoubtedly contribute to making the approaches more complex and rethinking the possible answers to a classic question, but not for that reason finished.
The Call for Papers closes 15 January 2021 (extended deadline: 22 January 2021). All researchers interested in presenting papers at the Rural History 2021 are invited to submit their paper proposals choosing one of the accepted session proposals. This also applies to those researchers who have already accepted to take part in proposed sessions. A paper proposal must include a title, the full name(s) and affiliations(s) of the author and co-author(s), a short abstract (up to 400 words) introducing the topic, its scope and approach. Participants are asked to limit themselves to a maximum of two papers in different sessions. Each session will last two hours and consist of 4 (or maximum 5) papers with a chair and a discussant. Decision on acceptance will be taken after the deadline and notification of acceptance will be sent out at the latest on 15 February 2021.
