There has been a recent expansion of interest in cultural
approaches to rural communities and to the economic and social
situation of rurality more broadly. This interest has been
particularly prominent in Australia in recent years, spurring the
emergence of an interdisciplinary field called 'rural cultural
studies'. This collection is framed by a large interdisciplinary
research project that is part of that emergence, particularly
focused on what the idea of 'cultural sustainability' might mean
for understanding experiences of growth, decline, change and
heritage in small Australian country towns. However, it extends
beyond the initial parameters of that research, bringing together a
range of senior and emerging Australian researchers who offer
diverse approaches to rural culture. The essays collected here
explore the diverse forms that rural cultural studies might take
and how these intersect with other disciplinary approaches,
offering a uniquely diverse but also careful account of life in
country Australia. Yet, in its emphasis on the simultaneous
specificity and cross-cultural recognisability of rural
communities, this book also outlines a field of inquiry and a set
of critical strategies that are more broadly applicable to thinking
about the "rural" in the early twenty-first century. This book will
be valuable reading for students and academics of Geography,
History, Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, Anthropology and
Sociology, introducing rural cultural studies as a new dynamic and
integrative discipline.
