Entangled Countryside - Tracking political negotiations and transformations
of the rural
Short abstract
Rural regions and rural imaginaries have currently become subject to
different and partly divergent political negotiations and transformations.
The panel highlights how discourses, policies, and actors transform everyday
lifeworlds in rural regions under conditions of complex political regimes.
Long abstract
Rural regions as well as rural imaginaries have currently become subject to
different and partly divergent political negotiations and transformations.
For example, the return of wolves has fuelled contentious negotiations of
ideas of rural nature and rural everyday lifeworlds in different European
countries. Right-wing and conservative politics in Germany or Austria have
built their ideas of "Heimat" (affective dimension of "homeland")
fundamentally on nostalgic ideas of the rural. At the same time, rural
regions and their inhabitants are subjected to EU structural and development
policies such as LEADER, which aim to readjust rural economies implementing
new forms of political and cultural participation. The panel aspires to
track these different political processes.
By which material and discursive practices are rural imaginations and
materialities transformed in the process of political negotiation? How
should we link local everyday negotiations of the rural to transregional
political dynamics? How do these political negotiations reformulate the
dichotomy between the "rural" and the "urban"?
How do right-wing politics reshape the ideas and imaginations of the rural?
How do rural development policies transform subjectivities, everyday
practices, and imaginations as well as materialities on the local level?
Which perspectives are opened up for studying the transformation of
political regimes by focusing on the everyday life implications of policies?
We invite papers presenting ethnographic research and/or theoretical
thoughts, as well as historical research, on how to grasp these political
negotiations and transformations of the rural. Contributions focusing on
processes in eastern and southern European countries are especially welcome.
