Repeasantization as a struggle for autonomy: two Portuguese cases
Keywords:
peasantry, social and solidarity economy, alternative development, rural-urban, neoruralityAbstract
The relation between rural and urban has been unequal, setting the rural as in service of the urban or rather as its subordinate. Even if this dichotomy has been criticized as outdated, it is still the dominant vision in rural territory planning and management. In this research, we present two projects developed in territories marked by rural features that incorporate peasant logic, while seeking to expand its autonomy in relation to the binomial State-Market and to (re)create of trust, solidarity, and cooperativism-based relations in rural environments. This research aims to shed some light at alternatives to the hegemonic model for rural development, as well as to inform other projects of peasant rural resistances on survival, adaptation and emancipation strategies in the face of an extractive capitalist system in marginalized territories and communities.
