- Abstract
During the decades of the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, peasant studies addressed a social class that had been the theme of much discussion and debate. The peasantry had been questioned as both a revolutionary subject and as an object of modernisation. From this moment of profound change, historians were focussing on another transition: that of feudalism to capitalism. Between this moment and today, remarkable epistemological changes have emerged. This article consists of a reflective exercise on the changes in the ways in which historians have thought about contemporary rural societies. Based on the microhistorical study of the transformations of the Galician peasant communities of the Franco regime, we offer a conceptual proposal from the perspective of critical theory. We argue that it is possible to conceptualise a history in conflict, to incorporate popular culture in its understanding, and to rid it of civilising prejudices.
