Peasant experience of the city in late nineteenth-century Poland.

我的硕士论文的目的是通过调查城市和农村空间的经验，提供一个系统的分析农民的社会流动。在世纪后半叶，越来越多的波兰农民决定离开村庄，不仅在农村谋生，而且在城市谋生。虽然大多数人加入了工人阶级，但有些人成功地部分同化为广义的“知识分子”。当然，许多农民知识分子主要活跃在农村，但即使是农村形式的活动，如建立农业圈，也需要与城市空间接触。我打算调查农民精英对城市和乡村的疏离感，他们都不能真正称之为家。我想探讨的问题，如在城市中心的宗教经验的变化，在空间感知的转变（拥挤的城市，而不是宽敞的村庄），以及农民的反犹太主义的转变，以回应与犹太人远离shtetl互动。我想考虑的问题是：空间和社会流动性之间的关系是什么？“现代”社会流动性与城市化有内在联系吗？城市环境对农民社会政治观的变化有何影响？就我所知，关注农民在城乡两个环境之间的摇摆，在波兰是一种新的方法。

The aim of my MA thesis is to provide a systematic analysis of peasant social mobility by investigating the experience ofurban and rural spaces. In the second half of the nineteenth century, a growing number of Polish peasants decided toleave the village and earn their living not just in the countryside, but also in the city. Although the majority joined theworking class, some succeeded at partial assimilation to the broadly understood 'intelligentsia'. Of course, many peasantintellectuals were active primarily in the village, but even rural forms of activism, such as founding agrarian circles,required contact with the urban space. I intend to investigate the peasant elite's sense alienation between the city andthe village, neither of which they could truly call home. I would like to explore issues such as the change in religiousexperience in urban centres, a transition in the perception of space (crowded city as opposed to spacious village), as wellas the transformation of peasant antisemitism in response to interactions with the Jews away from the shtetl. Thequestions I would like to consider are: what is the relationship between spatial and social mobility? Is 'modern' socialmobility inherently tied to urbanisation? What is the impact of urban environment on the change in peasant social andpolitical views? This focus on peasant oscillation between two milieux, the rural and the urban is, as far as I know, a newapproach in the Polish context.
