This international edited collection contributes to knowledge about
the geographies of sexualities experienced and imagined in rural
spaces. The book draws attention to the heterogeneity of rural
contexts and the diversity of meanings about sexualities within and
across these spaces. The collection examines four key themes.
First, 'Intimacies and Institutions' focuses on how intimate
relationships are governed by societal, discursive and
institutional structures, and regulated by social, political and
legal frames of citizenship and belonging. The chapters present
historical and contemporary case studies of the constitution and
management of intimate sexual lives and relationships in rural and
non-metropolitan spaces. Second, 'Communities' explores how sexual
identities are socially-constructed and relationally-performed in
rural communities, scrutinizing the complex interplay of belonging
and alienation, inclusion and exclusion, for sexual subjects and
communities within rural spaces. Analyzing films, literature and
interviews, the chapters examine sexuality and community, and
"queer" notions of rural family and community. Third, 'Mobilities'
examines movement/migration at different scales. Cross-national
data provides insights into similarities and differences in rural
migration and homemaking for lesbians, gay men and same-sex
families. The chapters consider how movement, coming out and
memories of time and place inflect home, identity and belonging for
rural lesbians and gay men. Fourth, 'Production and Consumption'
investigates the commodification of rural sexualities. The chapters
interrogate the management of animal bodies and sexualities in
industrial agriculture for consumer pleasure and commercial ends;
how heterosexuality and sexual relations are transacted in mining
communities; and the global commodification of rural masculine
sexualities. This book is timely. It provides important new
insights about ruralities and sexualities, filling a gap in
theoretical and empirical understandings about how sexualities in
diverse rural spaces are given meaning. This collection begins the
processes of furthering discussion and knowledge about the
inherently dynamic and constantly changing nature of the rural and
the multiple, varied and complex sexual subjectivities lived
through corporeal experiences and virtual and imagined lives.
