Death Knell

This essay posits a challenge to the continued reading of The Great Hunger (1942) as a realist depiction of the Irish small-farming class in the nineteen forties. The widespread critical acceptance of the poem as a socio-historical ‘documentary’ both relies upon and propagates an outmoded notion of authenticity based upon the implicit fallacy that Kavanagh's body of work designates a quintessence of Irishness in contradistinction to his Revivalist predecessors. In 1959 Kavanagh referred to this delusion as constituting his ‘dispensation’, for indeed it did provide a poetic niche for the young poet. Kavanagh's acknowledgement of this dispensation came with his rejection of all prescriptive literary symbols. While this iconoclasm is widely recognised in his later career, the relevance of The Great Hunger to this question continues to be overlooked. In fact, this poem contains his strongest dialectic upon the use of symbols – such as the peasant farmer – in designating an authentic national literature. The close reading of The Great Hunger offered here explores the poem's central deconstruction of ruralism and authenticity. The final ‘apocalypse of clay’ is the poem's collapse under the stress of its own deconstructed symbolism; the final scream sounds the death knell to Kavanagh's adherence to his authentic dispensation.

Socio Economic Development

Rural settlements occupy a significant part of the territory of Russia, where about 25% of the population lives and significant natural resource potential is concentrated, but the level of their socio-economic development is significantly inferior to urban ones. Increasing depressiveness of rural areas and spatial socio-economic differentiation is a systemic problem and an obstacle to the balanced development of the national economy, reduces its competitiveness due to insufficient use of economic potential, creates challenges to the economic and national security of the state. A powerful tool for countering such trends is the formation and implementation of the potential for the development of small agribusiness, which is mainly based on households created in the form of peasant (farmer) and personal subsidiary associations. The article ana-lyzes the potential of small agribusiness development in rural areas.

Ways Of Being

Using Donna Haraway’s notion of “response-ability”, or the cultivation of the capacity for response, this paper seeks to understand seed saving and plant breeding as politically and ethically charged modes of interspecies communication. In Brittany, France, a region known for its industrial-scale fresh vegetable production, peasant farmers and organic plant breeders question the modernist plant breeding and agro-industrial paradigm, cross-pollinating ideas to produce new understandings of genotype-environment interaction, biodiversity and heredity. Plant liveliness is understood as politically transformative, constitutive of an agriculture that supports peasant farmer and crop plant creativity and self-determination. In contrast to F1 hybrids, open-pollinated semences paysannes (peasant seed) retain the ability to respond to environmental changes, adapt and evolve over (human and plant) generations. Farmers must in turn engage specific modes of attention, interpreting plant expressions and shaping future generations through rouging and crossing, selecting and saving, watching and learning from their crops. Mutual response is the foundation of interdependence, in which nonconspecific partners adjust to one another’s ways of being and doing in order to labor together. In remaining response-able, farmers reckon with the liveliness and agential capacities of plants, qualities that work against their subsumption into factory-like methods of cultivation. These communicative practices hint at the radical potential for interspecies resistance to monoculture within plant breeding and cultivation, practices that are so often molded by the interests of agro-industrial capital.

В статье рассматриваются проблемы правового регулирования наследования имущества члена крестьянского (фермерского) хозяйства. КФХ может существовать в двух формах: как юридическое лицо и без образования юридического лица. ГК РФ определяет порядок перехода по наследству имущества лишь КФХ без образования юридического лица. The article deals with the problems of legal regulation of inheritance of property of a member of a peasant (farmer) farm. PFF can exist in two forms: as a legal entity and without the formation of a legal entity. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation defines the procedure for the inheritance of property only in a farm without the formation of a legal entity.

Small Scale Farmer

Hydraulic sprayers, which have reached a high degree of sophistication, have long been seen as inappropriate for use in many countries where crops are most at risk from pest, disease and weed competition. ULV application by spinning-disc sprayer may have overcome problems of inadequate water supply, but, for many, costs are still too high. Recent developments in electrostatic sprayers could remove this final constraint to adequate crop protection for the peasant farmer.

The Law

The legal regulation of relations with the participation of peasant (farmer) farms is complicated by the absence of a single legal act that would consistently cover all the rules governing the creation and activities of known types of peasant farms, which include: a sole peasant farm represented by an individual entrepreneur, a contractual association of citizens without the formation of a legal entity and peasant farms as the legal form of a legal entity. Individual judicial regulation, possessing a sign of feedback for legal regulation, can help increase its effectiveness. The purpose is to study the characteristics of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of peasant (farmer) enterprises on the example of individual judicial acts, as well as suggesting ways to resolve the problems identified. To achieve the stated goal, the following tasks were set: – designation of peasant farms confirmed by court decisions on disputes involving them; – the identification and study of the features of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of these types of peasant farms; – consideration of the possibility of application by courts of an analogy of the law in relation to peasant farms; – suggesting ways to address the identified problems of individual judicial regulation of relations with the participation of peasant farms. The methodological basis of the study consists in the use of general scientific (dialectics, analysis and synthesis) and private scientific research methods (formal legal, document analysis method). Brief conclusions of the study. 1. The marked differentiation of types of peasant farming makes it possible to specify the features of legal and individual regulation of each of them, and also makes it possible to exclude the accidental application of improper legislation in relations with the participation of peasant (farm) farms. 2. To determine the characteristics of individual types of farms, it is necessary to accurately determine the basis for the occurrence of each of them. 3. The application of the analogy of the law to peasant farms as partnerships or societies should be excluded, and the full identification of farms with these legal entities should not be allowed. 4. A special law that would determine the particular legal status of the peasant economy as a legal entity in accordance with clause 5 of article 86.1 of the Civil Code has not yet been adopted.

The Comunidad de Paz de San José de Apartadó (Peace Community) is a group of peasant farmer settlements in Northern Colombia who have used signage to unilaterally declare neutrality in the Colombian armed conflict. This chapter looks at the signs displayed by the Community as objects of international law and discusses the implications for the development and localization of international law. The chapter explores how the Community has adopted concepts of international law to carve out a space to resist the violence that surrounds them. The chapter also describes how the signs detail informal internal law, with adorned handwritten internal Community rules, and looks at the aspirations and principles conveyed by the signs’ design.
