Une société sous tension. La grande ferme picarde

Social Tension in Picardie In the rural society of Picardie conflict relationships imply the agricultural workers who are not sure to find a job and to keep it, as well as class opponents. The atmosphere of tension which dominates in the farms is the result of the pressure exercised by the landlord-farmer who disposes of a powerful social violence, making himself the master of their fate. This can also be explained by the competition that exists between the workers able to distinguish themselves on a hierarchical scale based on behaviour at work and their ability to achieve more than the others. The analysis of their rather rich and precise vocabulary which defines the different working methods is put in relation with the morality of everyday life which underlines the importance of effort as the main objective value
