In the 1980s, Jane Collier revisited a village in Andalucia, where she and others had conducted fieldwork 20 years earlier, to investigate family relationships and to explore the larger question of the development of a "modern subjectivity" among the people. Whereas the villagers she met in the 1960s stressed the importance of meeting social obligations, the people she interviewed more recently emphasized the need to think for oneself: status concerns in choosing a spouse had apparently been replaced by romantic love, patriarchal authority by partnership marriages, parental demands for obedience by hopes of earning children's affection, mourners' respect for the dead by personal expressions of grief. In each of these areas, the author detected a modern concern for "producing oneself", which emerged with changes in how villagers experienced social inequality.
