Research Proposal Summary October 2020 (may be updated on beginning PhD in October 2021)This project aims to better understand the drivers behind wartime resistance at the level of the individual. It aspires to investigate the puzzle of why some people in a given circumstance decide to resist while others do not. More specifically, it analyses the choices and behaviours of the agricultural working class across a largely rural region of France during the Occupation and builds a sociological profile of a rural contributor to the Resistance. In June 1940 a defeated France, deprived of 1.6 million prisoners of war, was led by Marshal Philippe Pétain who promised continuity and a return to greatness. However rural populations were unsettled by the arrival of refugees and programmes requisitioning agricultural produce and forced labour for the Reich. Underground armed resistance groups or maquis emerged who relied heavily on the local peasant communities for food, shelter, and equipment, but the level to which support was forthcoming varied from locality to locality. This project interrogates the variety of responses these populations made to these changed contexts of their daily lives during the Occupation by focusing on two case studies, the Limousin and Dordogne. Both areas were largely rural, close to the demarcation line between the occupied zone and the unoccupied zone and under the administration of the Vichy regime until November 1942 when the Germans took full occupation of France. The overarching research question is 'what prompted the decision of some members of certain rural communities to become involved in partisan action against the Vichy government and the Occupier?' In order to answer this, this study focuses on several sub questions. How did gender and ethnicity intersect with decisions? How central were socio-economic factors to decision-making? To what extent was the location of these areas influential? What role did external factors such as the course of the war and Vichy policies play as the nature of collaboration changed and the region became occupied?

2020年10月（可能在2021年10月开始博士学位时更新）该项目旨在更好地了解个人层面战时抵抗背后的驱动因素。它渴望调查为什么有些人在特定情况下决定抵制而另一些人却没有。更具体地说，它分析了占领期间法国大部分农村地区农业工人阶级的选择和行为，并建立了抵抗运动农村贡献者的社会学概况。1940年6月，战败的法国被剥夺了160万战俘，由菲利普·帕姆坦元帅（Marshal Philippe passain）领导，他承诺延续并恢复伟大。然而，由于难民的到来以及为帝国征用农产品和强迫劳动的方案，农村人口感到不安。地下武装抵抗组织或马基出现了，他们严重依赖当地农民社区提供食物、住所和装备，但各地的支持水平各不相同。该项目通过关注利穆赞和多尔多涅两个案例研究，探讨了这些人口在占领期间对日常生活环境变化的各种反应。这两个地区大部分都是农村地区，靠近占领区和未占领区的分界线，在1942年11月德国人完全占领法国之前一直处于维希政权的管理之下。首要的研究问题是“是什么促使某些农村社区的一些成员决定参与反对维希政府和占领者的党派行动？”为了回答这个问题，本研究主要关注几个子问题。性别和种族是如何影响决策的？社会经济因素对决策有多重要？这些地区的地理位置有多大的影响？战争进程和维希政策等外部因素在合作性质改变和该地区被占领的过程中发挥了什么作用？
