Landowners—whose rent is determined residually, after variable costs—would be the hardest hit, just as they have benefited most from farm payments. A form of counter-memory more relevant to residually orally cultures, however, is evident in Stephen Cornell's account of how members of an ethnic group that have experienced a rupture in the taken-for-granted reality of their identity develop new ways to construe their past and thus make sense of their present (45-46). One can see here his mediation between what he accepts as the residually valid element in the Marxist critique of social life and the profundity of the Christian vision of the limits of human, temporal existence. |
