Abstract

After the Communist takeover the lifestyle, patterns of consumption, social relations and norms of behavior became homogenized in a “negative way” as a result of the process of proletarianization and downward leveling. From the late sixties, under changing circumstances, in accordance with the norms of a quasi-consumption society, the difference in lifestyle were reproduced at a higher average level. The history of the rural way of life in Hungary after 1944 can be divided into two periods. The first lasted until the second half of the 1960s and was dominated by the survival of traditions, modernization at a moderate pace, and a decisive degree of self-sufficiency. The second, which began towards the end of the 1960s, was marked by departure from traditions, a declining role for self-sufficiency, and an increasing orientation towards consumption. This study looks at the historical features of the first period of change, primarily in the household and activity structures, through an examination of housing, furnishings, dress and nutrition.
