Considered here is the way in which the agrarian myth is reproduced on film, together with the reasons for this and its political effects. It is argued that apparently different filmic themes projecting seemingly opposed representations of the agrarian myth (plebeian/aristocratic, pastoral/Darwinian, 'Nature under attack'/ 'the death of Nature') all exhibit the same nostalgia for and an accompanying sense of loss of a vanishing rural landscape, the locus both of traditional/enduring socio-economic values and of an 'innate' class structure. The peasant or from below' version is termed the plebeian, while the 'from above' landlord version is the aristocratic form; each possesses a pastoral and a Darwinian variant. As their portrayal in a number of different film genres confirm, these contrasting manifestations of the agrarian myth can apply equally to peasant economy and to landlordism. In the pastoral each is depicted as harmonious, while in the Darwinian each is engaged in struggle. |
