How ‘rural’ is agricultural pluriactivity?
Abstract This paper questions the adequacy of the traditional approach to the study of agricultural pluriactivity which tends to be set within a narrow agricultural framework and assumes a descriptive nature. The basic argument is that an explanatory approach to contemporary forms of agricultural pluriactivity has to be informed by the process of capitalist restructuring and social change. This paper starts with a general analysis of the changing modes of the economic relations and then focuses on labour force reproduction structures. These are seen as most relevant in the context of a ‘semiperipheral’ society such as Portugal. It is concluded that although agricultural pluriactivity is clearly ‘rural’ in its origins, it contributes to, and gradually becomes part of, a wider process of change which transforms its very nature and blurs its original ‘rural’ boundaries.
