The Farm as a Social Arena

The Farm as a Social Arena

Timothy Carlisle
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Farm as a Social Arena focuses on the social life of farms from prehistory until c. 1700 AD, based mainly, but not exclusively, on archaeological sources. All over Europe, people have lived on farms, at least, from the Bronze Age onwards. The papers presented here discuss farms in Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Germany.

Whether isolated or in hamlets or villages, farms have been important elements of the social structure for thousands of years. Farms were workplace and home for their inhabitants, women, men and children, and, perhaps, extended families—frequently sharing their space with domestic animals. Sometimes, important events such as feasts, religious services and funerals also took place here. The household, thus, became a multi-faceted arena, which brought together a variety of community members that both shaped—and were shaped by—its social dynamics. At times, work and other activities defined by the social arena that was the farm even affected long-term developments of society as such.
