Towards a Psychology of Rural Development Processes and Interventions
A psychosocial approach to rural development and development interventions, which we designate as ‘psychology of rural development’ (PsyRD), does not yet exist as an area of research or intervention within the field of psychology or development studies, even though rural development is in part obviously shaped by psychosocial factors. Thus, in this discussion paper, we argue the need for PsyRD, explore how it may provide new insights and tools fo…
The Power of Music
This article aims to contribute to the increasingly rich body of ethnographic and sociological studies that focus on processes of musical practice. After a brief introduction to the significance of music in social life, it outlines the advantages of adopting an actor-oriented analysis that gives close attention to issues of agency and emergent socio-cultural forms. This is followed by a brief encounter with the dynamics of musical performance as …

Exploring local/global transformations
Reconfiguring modernity and development from an anthropological perspective
The Centrality of Actors and Interfaces in the Understanding of New Ruralities
This paper aims to demonstrate the advantages of adopting an ethnographic, actor interface approach to understanding the ongoing dynamics of rural development and policy intervention processes. It does so through the discussion of an EU-funded project orientated to introducing village-level forest-management practices in north-west China. The case highlights the ongoing everyday struggles over livelihoods and resources and focuses on the negotiat…
Farmer Initiatives and Livelihood Diversification
This paper explores how, despite relatively undifferentiated economic, cultural and land tenure conditions, some farmers in a rural area of Hebei Province, north-east China, have managed to devise innovative livelihood activities that provide them with better living standards than the majority of villagers. The research concludes that the dynamics of farmer innovations emerge from a variety of factors: the building of effective social networks an…
Modos de vida transnacionales, prácticas organizativas y remesas sociales en el centro de Perú
Este artículo examina cuestiones relacionadas con la migración y los modos de vida translocales en Perú. La migración constituye un proceso continuo, a través del espacio y el tiempo, de adaptación entre las redes familiares y comunitarias, y requiere de una exhaustiva comprensión del carácter de la translocalidad, tal como la experimentan los actores involucrados en el proceso. Con base en un trabajo etnográfico diacrónico y genealógico, se empl…
Development Sociology
In this exciting and challenging work, Norman Long brings together years of work and thought in development studies to provide a key text for guiding future development research and practice. Using case studies and empirical material from Africa and Latin America, Development Sociology focuses on the theoretical and methodological foundations of an actor-oriented and social constructionist form of analysis. This style of analysis is opposed to th…
Anthropology, Development and Modernities
Bridging two worlds
The extended case which forms the core of this chapter represents a journey into the everyday lives of bureaucrats and peasants in Jalisco, Mexico. The ethnography provided the means by which the researchers could begin to explore the different bodies of knowledge operative in the lives of these actors.1 The presentation of the case follows the chronology in which we slowly acquired a picture of the dilemmas and expectations of the peasants and b…
Development Sociology
Small Product, Big Issues
This article follows the trajectory of maize husks from their production sites in rural Western Mexico to diverse consumption and commercialization locales both within the country and in the United States, showing how the uses and meanings of specific products are continuously reassembled and transformed within the livelihoods and social networks of Mexicans living in a transnational world. By highlighting the multiplicities and ambiguities of so…
Du paradigme perdu au paradigme… retrouvé ? Pour une sociologie du développement orientée vers les acteurs
Ce chapitre est constitue de deux parties. Le premier depeint le caractere paradigmatique de l'opposition entre approche structurale et approche basee sur les acteurs dans l'etude du developpement et du changement social et se prononce en faveur de l'injection dans la recherche empirique d'une perspective basee sur les acteurs plus approfondie et mieux theorisee. Le second chapitre retrace mes propres experiences et mes propres luttes pour concil…

Miners, Peasants, and Entrepreneurs
This volume traces the development of the central highlands, one of Peru's major mining regions. It draws on extensive fieldwork carried out in Peru between 1970 and 1982, spanning a reforming military government, reaction and a return to civilian politics under Belaunde. Through historical material combined with field studies of villages and of the major town of the region, Huancayo, the book examines the economic and cultural processes underlyi…

Demythologizing Planned Intervention
A Perspective on the Sociology of Development
The paper argues chat we have reached an impasse in theorizing about agrarian social change due to the deterministic and centralistic assumptions of existing sociological theories of development, whether they adopt a modernization, dependency or political economy framework. What is needed, it is suggested, is a more serious attempt to analyse the dynamic processes by which individuals and social groups - peasants, workers, entrepreneurs, bureaucr…

From peasant community to production co‐operative
Discussions concerning rural development in Peru since the military coup of 1968 have focused mainly on the large‐scale land reform programme under which the coastal estates and many of the livestock and agricultural haciendas in the highlands have been expropriated [Petras and Rimensnyder, 1970, Quijano, 1971, and Hobsbawm, 1971]. This has tended to deflect interest from other important aspects of rural development policy. It would be wrong to a…
