Contadini—peasant farmers—are central figures of belonging in a Northern Italian winegrowing community. The skills and languages in which contadini are fluent and who is recognized as one of them organize the values attached to various roles in this world. I show how the immigrant vineyard workers who maintain local landscapes engage with this identity, producing new selves through the labor of caring for vines. Earning the title of contadino allows some immigrants to cross social boundaries usually policed by strict ethnic lines in Italy, generating recognition and benefits unavailable from the state. At the same time, Italian employers’ relation to the land changes as they hand off ways of knowing and doing to categorical outsiders. ‘Traditional’ labor and products are what pull these two groups into a collaborative encounter, but rather than simply keeping the past in practice, immigrants and Italians also generate new forms of personhood and value.

新的 contadini：意大利葡萄园的变革性劳动力

Contadini——农民——是意大利北部葡萄种植社区的核心人物。contadini 流利的技能和语言以及被认为是其中之一的技能和语言组织了与这个世界上各种角色相关的价值观。我展示了维护当地景观的移民葡萄园工人如何与这种身份打交道，通过照顾葡萄藤的劳动产生新的自我。获得 contadino 的称号允许一些移民跨越通常由意大利严格的种族界限监管的社会界限，从而获得国家无法获得的认可和福利。与此同时，意大利雇主与土地的关系发生了变化，因为他们将了解和做事的方式交给了绝对的局外人。“传统”劳动力和产品是将这两个群体拉入协作相遇的原因，
