The rural village of nineteenth century Europe was caught in a
conflict between its traditional local culture and its integration
into new state institutions and modern social structures. Local
practices were turned into crimes; the social meaning of crime
within the village culture was redefined by the introduction of
bourgeois penal law and psychiatry. The language of the intruding
agencies has created, through a wealth of written documentation, an
image of village life for the outside world. Criminal
investigations, however, had to be based on interrogations of the
villagers themselves, and it was through this questioning process
that their own views, language, and symbolic gestures went on
record. In this book, first published in 1994, Schulte provides an
interpretation of village power structures, gender relations, and
generational rites of passage in Upper-Bavaria through a close
examination of the proceedings before the penal courts of
Upper-Bavaria for the three most important types of rural crime:
arson, infanticide, and poaching.
