Re-Presenting Rural Culture

0/5 ( ratings)

Re-presenting Rural Culture is a fascinating and authoritative account of theoretically informed research into rural culture. Over the last 15 years--especially in the light of the "cultural turn" in the social sciences-- key questions have been asked about the significance of the cultural ata various scales of rural being. The authors offer a personalized window onto research into rural culture, and in so doing provide a perspective on the broader project of how culture has become increasingly important in more general rural studies. Key issues addressed include: - In what ways are ruralities made meaningful through cultural construction? - How do cultural representations of rurality present an interactive context for the choices, tactics and constraints associated with living in the countryside? - How do ruralities connect into social identities? - In what ways have new concepts of nature-society relations resulted in a rethinking of representation and rurality? Representing Rural Culture will appeal to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography, anthropology and cultural studies.
