Dibben was a small farmer and, according to Castleman’s private notebook, his conduct had been ‘commendable all these years’. Dibben’s trespass proved to be a rallying call for the people of Handley. During the next four months, more than five hundred ‘lugs’ of new fencing were destroyed and over thirty people arrested for their participation in what came to be known as ‘Dibben’s cause’. Trespass, as in this case, was not some mere nuisance to the rural elite of nineteenth-century England. These seemingly minor actions gave the people of rural communities the opportunity to reject changes being imposed on their environment and the opportunity to revive, if almost invariably for only a short time, the slowly dwindling rights and customs associated with their local landscapes. Throughout the nineteenth century animal and human bodies were used to contest and negotiate the increasing privatization of rural spaces. This study explores how different bodies, human and of certain livestock, enacted trespass and how these bodies were subsequently differentiated in both their performances and punishment. While trespass by abled male trespassers, and their livestock, was often seen as a continuation in defence of the old customary rights, trespassing abled women and disabled people were a disruption. This article makes the case for reimagining the importance of rural trespass as a form of protest and highlights the role of performance in shaping private property.

人类和动物的入侵作为抗议：萨默塞特郡和多塞特郡农村的空间和连续性

迪本本是个小农夫，根据Castleman的私人笔记，他的举止“多年来一直值得称赞”。迪本本的侵入被证明是对汉德利人民的集会号召。在接下来的四个月中，超过五百个新的栅栏“突耳”被销毁，三十多人因参与所谓的“迪本的事业”而被捕。在这种情况下，侵入并不只是对19世纪英国乡村精英的滋扰。这些看似微不足道的行动使农村社区的人民有机会拒绝强加于他们的环境的变化，并有机会恢复（即使在短时间内几乎总是不变的）与当地景观有关的权利和习俗的逐渐减少。在整个19世纪，动物和人体被用来争夺和谈判日益增多的农村空间私有化。这项研究探索了人类和某些牲畜的不同身体是如何制定侵入行为的，以及这些身体随后在表现和惩罚方面如何有所区别。虽然通常认为有能力的男性侵入者及其家畜的侵入是对旧习惯权利的捍卫，但对有能力的妇女和残疾人的侵入却是一种破坏。本文为重新想象农村侵入作为抗议形式的重要性提供了理由，并强调了绩效在塑造私有财产中的作用。制定了侵入法，以及随后如何区分这些机构的表现和惩罚。虽然通常认为有能力的男性侵入者及其家畜的侵入是对旧习惯权利的捍卫，但对有能力的妇女和残疾人的侵入却是一种破坏。本文为重新想象农村侵入作为抗议形式的重要性提供了理由，并强调了绩效在塑造私有财产中的作用。制定了侵入法，以及随后如何区分这些机构的表现和惩罚。虽然通常认为有能力的男性侵入者及其家畜的侵入是对旧习惯权利的捍卫，但对有能力的妇女和残疾人的侵入却是一种破坏。本文为重新想象农村侵入作为抗议形式的重要性提供了理由，并强调了绩效在塑造私有财产中的作用。
