On the fringe of western Europe, yet fully integrated into the
capitalist market, the rural economy of the west of Ireland seems
to provide a fascinating object of analysis to the student of
European folk cultures. This book concentrates on a particular
aspect of that rural economy: the social organization and cultural
construction of work in a community of family farms. The concept of
work, which is primarily farm work, is taken here as a very
elementary set of ideas, images and experiences that enable us to
penetrate in the different cultural spheres that intersect life on
an Irish family farm. Work, the author concludes, is to this
farming community what the Kula ring is to the Trobriand islanders
- a kind of Maussian "total social fact" the analysis of which
incorporates a comprehensive description of a particular social
system.
