ABSTRACT
The
cultural context generated by the mining industry works as an unifying force
among mining enclaves, as well as an element of distinction in relation with
the surrounding territories. The mining culture, set up as the common answer to
the circumstances provided by the mine, is thereby a hallmark for the mining
communities. Several agents participated in the formation of this identity
system, such as the working conditions, the relation with the Death, the sense
of class, the progress, the economic colonialism or the labour movement. This
paper aims to track the role played by these and others elements in the
construction of a specific social group: the contemporary mining people from
the South of the Iberian Peninsula, as the result of hybridism between
globalization and endemism. In doing so, we combine archaeological and
anthropological methods on a wide range of sources of information: material
culture, oral memory, written/visual historical documents and touristic guides
and brochures.
