Thesis (Ph.D.)--Washington State University, 1999.

This research explores one American community's adaptation to the conditions of modernity in a particular historical period, the development of that adaptation, and the kind of people it produced. Through a practice approach, integrating a structural analysis with an analysis of subjective experience, I investigate the intersection of powerful structural forces, including industrialism, capitalism, and the institution of the Catholic Church, with people's everyday lives. I question Marxist assumptions concerning the inevitable and encompassing effects of capitalist power and industrial work, expressed locally in Butte through the Anaconda Company and underground copper mining, and challenge intellectual assertions about the dominating influence the Catholic Church exerted on its faithful. Informed by Max Weber and Antonio Gramsci, I explain how Butte's people countered these powerful forces and controlled their work, lives, interests, and expectations, through the cultivation of a system of ideas, a philosophy. The prevailing ideas of Butte emerged, not from capitalist power nor from the institution of the Church, but out of Catholic "traditionalism" as it was adapted to the modern world of rational capitalism and industrial underground mining. The system of ideas facilitated a particular formulation of the evils plaguing modern life and organized an adaptation to those evils through practice. They enabled people of Butte to adapt to the conditions of power imbalance and to the material and existential conditions posed by modern society. Because the philosophy predominantly shaped everyday lives in the community, it was hegemonic. Because it primarily served the interests of the people, it formed a people's hegemony. The philosophy, rather than the copper underlying the Hill, represented the riches of the "Richest Hill on Earth."
