| Jacques Le Goff said that we will always encounter our rural ancestor sooner or later. This personal anecdote becomes, however, a collective reality. The rural influence has always been present in our cultural horizons. The historian's vision probably searches certain origins: those of Western Europe. It is not a nostalgic return, characteristic of the current industrial animal that is capable of creating virtual and cybernetic fields. It is, on the other hand, finding the farmers in their own agrarian communities that will give life to scenery and heterogeneous cultivations, in constant conflict with noblemen and bourgeois, possessing their original values. If culture is made up of inheritance and ruptures, then there should be no doubt that Western culture is, also, the result of the inheritance and ruptures of the rural world of the Middle Ages. |
