Summary:
Though sometimes overlooked and underestimated, rural space has played a substantial role in social, cultural, economic, and ideological change. This role can be studied by looking at the re/production of spatial agents that were caused by direct or indirect political interventions in rural communities. In this book, scholars looking at case studies from Greece, Turkey, Italy, Portugal, and Austria discuss the making of identity in and through rural areas, which have dramatically changed under different political, social, and economic conditions from the turn of the 20th century up until today. By focusing on potential contestations of such changes, the authors provide a better in-depth understanding of spatial dynamics related to cultural and social spheres of 20th-century rurality.

Summary:
As a part of his research series on the historical practices of communitarian utopias in different countries, Ou Ning's new book, ''The Agritopianists'', focuses on the labor experiments of intellectual groups in 20th-century Japan’s rural areas. From the collective Atarashiki-mura (New Village) Movement initiated by Mushakoji Saneatsu, through many other individual semiagricultural life practices of Japanese writers and artists, the book traces the emergence of a shared agricultural fundamentalism that informed and evolved into the active political interventions of later years. Ou Ning combines original field investigation with a close reading of the historical archives to construct a narrative spanning period and geographies that is always attentive to specific detail. ''The Agritopianists'' takes the reader to the historical scene and asks them to consider its relevance to today’s urgent questions of ways of living and planetary thinking. Among the many histories of utopian thought and experiments, this is a unique rethinking of environmental possibilities through geographical and cultural differences.

Summary:
This book positions Ulaanbaatar as a unique case and one that allows us to view our urban world differently. Operating as a primordial soup of emerging conditions, Ulaanbaatar is conceived as an incubator for alternative urban concepts. The book rejects the agency of the masterplan as an effective tool in emerging urban conditions and instead positions the framework as a tool for incremental urbanism. Although specific to the Ger districts of Mongolia, the story of how people, communities, planners, and politicians are grappling with the effects of becoming urban remains one of the critical issues facing the 21st century. How this process will be materialized and organized spatially, and by whom, will have profound ramifications on the climate and the social and economic make-up of our future cities.
