Resumen
Tradicionalmente, la pasividad y el fatalismo han sido asociados a la pobreza y al subdesarrollo. A la inversa, es usual escuchar a los campesinos pobres describirse como personas esforzadas y laboriosas. Así, dada la importancia del tema para diferentes teorías del desarrollo como el interés que éste despierta en los campesinos, en un trabajo realizado en la provincia de Formosa se abordaron las percepciones de campesinos y extensionistas rurales en torno a estas cuestiones. Se concluye que los campesinos tienden a describirse a sí mismos, ya sea como individuos o como grupo social, como esforzados y trabajadores, mientras que suelen representar a sus pares como haraganes, cuando se comparan con ellos. Por otra parte, también se observa que los extensionistas interpretan numerosas conductas campesinas en términos de desinterés y pasividad, a causa de las diferencias que existen entre la racionalidad campesina y la propia de los técnicos.
Traditionally, passivity and fatalism have been related to poverty and underdevelopment. Conversely, it is usual to listen to peasants describing themselves as hard-working and laborious people. Thus, given the importance of this issue for several development theories and for the peasants themselves, I conducted an investigation in the Argentinean province of Formosa in which the perceptions of the peasants and of the rural extension workers on these topics were addressed. I conclude that the peasants tend to describe themselves, when speaking as individuals or as part of the social group of peasants, as industrious people, while they tend to perceive their peers as loafers when compared to them. Additionally, it worth mentioning that rural extensionists understand many peasants' behaviors as being passive due to the differences that exist between the peasants' rationale and the technicians' one.
