The British countryside is a national institution; most people
aspire to live there, many people use it for leisure and recreation
and we can all watch rural life played out on our television
screen, read about it in novels or consume its imagery in art and
cinematography. The aim of this book is to explore the way that
these aspirations and perceptions influence the way that the term
"rural" is interpreted across different academic disciplines.
Definitions of rural are not exact, leaving room for these
interpretations to have a significant impact on the meanings
conveyed in different areas of research and across different
economic, social and spatial contexts. In this book contributors
present research across a range of subjects allowing critical
reflections upon their personal and disciplinary interpretations of
"rural". This resulting volume is a collection of diverse chapters
that gives an emergent sense of how the notion of "rural" changes
and blurs as the disciplinary lens is adjusted. In drawing together
these strands, it becomes clear that human relations with rural
space morph materiality into highly complex representations wherein
both disadvantage and social exclusion persist within a rurality
that is also commodified, consumed and cherished.
