A fascinating and authoritative account of theoretically informed research into rural culture. |
| Synopsis: |
This 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 at various scales of rural being. The authors offer a personalised 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 both representation and rurality? Re-presenting Rural Culture will appeal to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography, anthropology and cultural studies. |
