Discover information, advice, and prices for Fate and Honor Family Village sold for 69.38 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
The Italian peasantry has often been described as tragic backward hopeless downtrodden static and passive In Fate and Honor Family and Village Rudolph Bell argues against the characterizationmore by reconstructing the complete demographic history of four country villages since 1800 He analyzes births marriages and deaths in terms of four concepts that capture mroe accurately and sympathetically the essence of the Italian peasant life fortuna fate onore honor dignity famiglia family and campanilismo village Fortuna is the cultural wellspring of Italian peasant society the world view from which all social life flows The concept of fortuna does not refer to philosophical questions predestination or value judgments Rather fortuna is the sum total of all explanations of outcomes perceived to be beyond human control Thus in Bells view high mortality does not lead peasants to a resigned acceptance of their fate instead they rely on honor reciprocal exchanges of favors and marriage to forge new links in their familial and social networks With thorough documentation in graphs and tables the author evaluates peasant reactions to time work family space migration and protest to portray rural Italians as active flexible and shrewd participating fully in shaping their destinies Bell asserts that the real problem of the Mezzogiorno is not one of resistance to technology of high birth rates or even of illiteracy It is one of solving technical questions in ways that foster dependency The historical and sociological practice of treating peasant culture as backward secondary and circumscribed only encourages disruption and ultimately blocks the road to economic and political justice in a postmodern world

What happens when our lives are suddenly disrupted by chronic or terminal illness Of course science family faith and friends are there to help But as author Dean Scaros demonstrates in this elegantly written and affecting book all the issues we face as a result of illness have been expressed through human artistic sensibility We have been seeking meaning and solace and have often found it ever since we painted figures on the walls of our caves This book considers through the lens of great literature and art issues that are important to us as we struggle to come to terms with progressive debilitating illness issues such as personal dignity courage fear hope love time chance fate and friendship to name just a few These issues are not physical or clinical Rather they concern the ways in which we think and feel about our experience Reflecting on them affords us an opportunity to better understand our experience and even gain a measure of wisdom from it
