THE TV PEASANT, THE NEW FASHION PEASANT AND THE INFORMATIVE PEASANT

Summary/Abstract: It is certainly a challenge to identify the social types involved in the cultural transmission process, that is why I "lean" upon "the profile" of the transmitters, upon the ones who carry on the cultural transmission elements, respectively: 1. The ones who simply live in a so-called "traditional" community and they are traditional by doing it. 2. The ones who cultivate the tradition emphatically and consciously, and who undertake this role consciously, taking it seriously in their capacity as culture transmitters. By identifying and analyzing the social types involved in the cultural transmission process, it is easy to explain the syncopes, the rupture moments in the perpetuation of cultural schemes. They can be better analyzed when they are put into practice. Social types are updated in certain social contexts and then become visible and analyzable. They do not always exist, they are updated with more authority in their circumstantial identity, when the context requires it, so they will also generate situational typologies.
