| Abstract: |
This session seeks to take an interdisciplinary look at peasant communities in medieval society. How did peasants define their spaces and how much influence did peasants have on their environment? What was the interplay between structures of authority, in particular local lordship, and peasant group or individual agency, and how did this express itself in rural mentalities, the formation of group identities and the organisation of the local agricultural landscape? Another component of the session will be its comparative elements, how and perhaps more importantly why did peasant communities differ, how did local peculiarities find expression in local communal organisations, spatial, ideological, or in class consciousness?
