| Abstract | Chilean "asentados" and Mexican "ejidatarios" as observed between 1965-73 and 1972-76, respectively, constitute the basis for an analysis of the interaction between peasants and agents of social change in the rural development process. Encounters between peasants and functionaries can be conceived as ceremonies incorporating ritualistic forms (actions, gestures, movements, etc.), the times and places in which these forms occur, and the instruments of ceremony. Analysis of these ceremonial forms reveals social roles and acts which demonstrate that the peasant-functionary encounter is invariably under the functionary's control and constitutes an asymmetrical interaction, manifest in peasant ceremonies of submission. When these ceremonial forms of encounter are couched in the ideology of the dominant society's "truths", the "inferiority" of the peasant is construed as a question of lifestyle, mentality, and overall expectations. The conception of rural development programs as sets of expectations should provide opportunity for both the State and the peasants to develop a currency of expectations, but given the asymmetry of the peasant-functionary encounter, the peasant may engage in ceremonies of submission for purposes of maintaining his "underlife", while the State may create the illusion of change and use the bureaucracy to dampen peasant demands.
