Summary:

"The Rural : What, and where, is 'the Rural'? From the rocks that break a farmer's plough on a field in Japan to digital infrastructures that organize geographically dispersed interests and ambitions, vast parts of our lives are still connected and dependent on resources, production, and infrastructures located within rural geographies, with the rural remaining a shared and common cultural space. This anthology offers an urgent and diverse cross-section of rural art, thinking, and practice, and consider how artists respond to the socio-economic divides between the rural and the urban, from reimagined farming practices and food systems to architecture, community projects, and transnational local networks."--back cover.
