| Abstract | In recent years we have witnessed to a rediscovery of the peasant ability to self represent and to actively make a series of coherent demands, which points to the maitenance of a particular political subculture and to the existence of an important strategic capacity. The later is reflected by the ability to take advantage of the opportunities provided by tensions or specific circumstances in the political background, and especially by the ability to structure grievances making use of the opportunities afforded by the available public discourse. The aim of this session is to make a comparatibe analyse, taking as a reference the English, French ad Castilian case in Late Middle Ages. |
