Mining vs. farmer: and disagreements in a agro-town (1850-1930)

Abstract

Researchings made in macro analytic terms around Spanish contemporary miner History, and also that are focused on a miner community, for example in Linares, in the province
of Jaén, have considered the Industrial Revolution as the trigger cause of coming back, the breakpoint and the high point of an activity with far away origins, and in the same time, they have analysed how the oscillations of European economy had influenced on the miner productions, but they have affected in a less way in the understanding of the miner fact since the community perspective, in a double context: socioeconomic and cultural. In this framework, one of the least studied aspect in the miner industrial History are the characteristic relationships between two economic and social realities of a antagonistic nature, agriculture and miner that, nevertheless, for their mutual being, are obligated to show as complementary as independent, playing the lead in several contradictions in an individual, familiar and global level which analysis and understanding is decisive to comprehend the social changes that are created in this period in the popular belief stereotypes from Linares people.
