Integration and Desintegration of Rurality (A contribution to defining the concept of rurality)

Autor smatra da moderna poljoprivreda mora uspostaviti nove osnove integracije, odnosno transformisati nasleđeni tip integracije koji odgovara tradicionalnoj poljoprivredi. Istraživanju procesa integracije i dezintegracije nužno prethodi preciznija identifikacija sela, tj. ruralnosti, i to kroz presek unutrašnjih odnosa .u samom seljačkom društvu i kroz presek globalnoga socijalnog sistema. Ruralnost čine nepasredovani društveni odnosi koje globalno društvo omogućava ili nameće u meri u kojoj globalno društvo sužava ili ukida ruralnost. Prodorom kapitala poljoprivreda nadrasta naturalni i autarhični karakter proizvodnje i postaje ekonomska delatnost. Tako kapital postaje nova osnova integracije i dezintegracije poljoprivrede i sela.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
