Critical Rural Theory is an attempt to bring together the concepts
of structure, space, and culture in order to explain the
relationship between rural communities and urban society. The
overarching theme revolves around the many ways-structural,
spatial, and cultural-in which urban systems create and maintain a
hegemonic relationship with rural areas and people. Central to this
theme is the concept of urbanormativity: the cultural assumption of
the dominance and superiority of urban communities and patterns of
life. Urbanormativity is an outgrowth of the structural forces in
an urban society that favor the interests of cities over those of
the countryside, of a generally exploitative relationship between
the two. The structure of a society is encoded in the settlement
space, which in turn influences one's experience. The experience of
social space produces cultural dynamics that are reproduced from
generation to generation. These mechanisms are explored through
popular culture, physical patterns of urban expansion, and
historical patterns of social change.
