This thesis is concerned with inter personal relationships - a subjectwith which villagers themselves are preoccupied. In chapter I, 1 suggestthat Valloire is a society of multiplex roles, particularistic beh?viourand close knit networks. One objective of the thesis is to discover whatactual patterns of behaviour are connected with these theoretical patternsof linkage. Such a study must take account of sweeping changes in the lastfifty years - out-migration, the run down of farming and the expansion oftourism.In chapters III - VII, I set out the roles connected with kinship, age,sex, origin and status. In chapters VIII - XI, 1 am concerned with theiracting out in specific situations.1 first examine villagers' own feelings of wariness which enter intoalmost all interaction and are common to peasant societies. 1 consider theapparent contradiction between this hostility and felt solidarity, and lookat the role of gossip.In chapter III, 1 find kinship to be of primary importance in relationshipsas it implies a sharing in identity and information, social and economicsolidarity and, in times of change, forms the main link between generationsand between villagers and migrants.In chapter IV, I look particularly at the split between the young andthe old and the characteristics and role of the young mens' (jeunes) group.In chapter V, 1 look at the segregation and different social networksof men and women, the danger of women as gossipers and their active rolein modernisation.In chapter VI, I consider the effect of spatial proximity on behaviour,relationships between neighbours, villagers and outsiders.In chapter VI~, 1 look at prestige in a community of equals and thecontradiction this implies. I examine ranking criteria - both material andmoral. In considering recent differences in wealth and lifestyle, 1 contrastthe actions of the traditional rich and the evolues.In considering the way villagers behave on public ceremonies, whenvillage solidarity is expressed, I look at the segregat ion of roles, theproblems of community action, the limitation of power manipulation andprestige seeking.Chapter IX focuses on the attempts of one wife to set up a choir groupwhere few voluntary associations exist. The account is used to illustratecertain characteristics of village society and also the actions of an"entrepreneur" in the field of social relations.In chapter X, 1 analyse the three types of economic exchange found inthe village - help, rendre service and impersonal exchange. 1 consider their:----~----------.---- -_ .. _---_._--------------------/ ,Icharacteristics, the conditions under which they are appropriate and therelationships they involve. 1 look at the effect of recent changes inexchange on social relations.In chapter XI, 1 contrast the success of modernisation in the pri&atesphere - family shops and hotels - with the apathy of the public sector -communal plans for a ski resort. ~n presenting the ways in which peoplereconvert tteir resources, 1 examine the role of the ent repreneur in change.In conclusion, 1 suggest that much of the wariness and danger dominatingsocial relations arises from the intensity of personal knowledge andinteraction characteristic of face-to-face societies. 1 examine the dualityof wariness and solidarity and link this with ambiguity in speech andbehaviour. 1 suggest that cross-cutting ties lead to relative uniformityin behaviour and a stress on individual personality. 1 consider the relevance,of the theory of "dyadic contract". Finally, 1 sum up the two way interactionbetween inter personal relations and ch~nging economic and political demands.
