Description
From China to the Americas via the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, Études Rurales explores the many aspects of what used to be known as “rurality” from the perspective of territory, activities, lifestyles, political organization, perceptions, beliefs, heritages, and future prospects. Thanks to the diversity of its contributors’ backgrounds, the journal offers a view of the world based as much on scientific study as on historical, philosophical, and anthropological reflection. In our world, which has undergone such drastic changes as to appear new and foreign to us, the urban and the rural bleed into one another, people discover the complexity of the connections they have to their environment, and the earth is once again becoming everybody’s concern. In order to better understand all these connections, bringing together these multiple perspectives paints a picture from one issue to the next of this new modernity as it relates to our planet. Without succumbing to nostalgia over the countrysides of the past, the journal contributes to the collective invention of a new way of seeing rurality.
One of the ways in which Études Rurales distinguishes itself is by being truly multidisciplinary and by reflecting changes in the disciplines and the issues through its editorial decisions. The editorial staff is therefore composed in such a way as to allow various disciplines to contribute to this collective process. Founded by a historian, Georges Duby, a geographer, Daniel Faucher, and an ethnologist, Isac Chiva, the journal’s editorial team has subsequently been led by anthropologists, historians, and archaeo-geographers. Current editor-in-chief Bruno Villalba is a political analyst.
