Trouble is, of course, Dineen 'borrowed' the title for her documentary.
Can I suggest we stop doing this?  Geographers guilty of a few of these.

RGS-IBG 2008 - Rural Geography Research Group (RGRG)

This is a call for papers for the Rural Geography section of the Royal
Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers conference which will
be held in London 27-29 August 2008.



THEME Title for Section:
"The Lie of the Land": Rural Lies, Myths and Realities

Convenors:
Gareth Enticott (Cardiff University)
Keith Halfacree (Swansea University)

In May 2006, Channel 4 screened "The Lie of the Land", a documentary
by Molly Dineen. Originally intended to be about hunting, the
documentary ended up focusing on traditional productive agriculture in
marginal South-west England. In doing so it provoked equal amounts of
outrage, praise, anger and shock. It showed in graphic detail some of
the less attractive realities of rural living: from the routine
slaughter of healthy yet unprofitable new-born calves on dairy farms,
to the acute poverty of many farmers? day-to-day lives, to the harsh
impacts of reforms to agricultural subsidies. In the agricultural
press, farmers were equally pleased and angered: pleased because the
film served to highlight the plight of productive agriculture but also
angered because some felt that it undermined those seeking to develop
quality products.

The title of the documentary - "The Lie of the Land" - resonates
powerfully in more general ways too.  It signifies a set of long held
`lies? about the English countryside - from the `lie? of a bucolic
rural idyll and the (unseen) `lies? of modern agriculture. These lies,
though, are not necessarily told by farmers but arguably more commonly
by governments and the urban population.

For this session, therefore, we are calling for papers that deal with
the implications for rural geography raised by the "Lie of the Land".
In particular, papers are invited that deal with the following themes:

1) Rural Lies and Myths. The title of Molly Dineen?s documentary
brings to the surface wide-ranging questions about rural lies, myths
and realities. Who lies about the rural and who is aware of those
untruths? What rural myths exist? How do they circulate around rural
populations? What impact do they have? How are lies manifested and by
whom or what: humans, nonhumans, topographies/geomorphologies?

2) The practice of agriculture in (marginal) rural areas. How have
recent reforms to agricultural policy affected rural livelihoods? For
example, how has the management of the Rural Payments Agency
impacted upon farmers? How have changes to the management of agri-
environment schemes, animal health policies and the Common Agricultural
Policy generally altered the practice of farming today?

3) Methodological Lies. Dineen?s documentary is situated as a journey
of discovery and accidental realisation of a set of rural problems.
What other methodological journeys have researchers experienced that
has awakened them to rural lies and truths? To what extent are the
truths researchers say about the rural based on purposive or
accidental journeys? The documentary also raises the question of how
geographers should deal with lying. Which methods are best suited for
exploring and capturing lies? Does it matter if research participants
lie? What untruths do researchers themselves tell?

Please submit abstracts of not more than 250 words by January 31st
2008 to either: Dr Keith Halfacree Swansea University
