Author: Birgit Althans, Mirjam Lewandowsky, Fiona Schrading, Janna R. Wieland
Considering local and global transformations and crises, this book examines the “how” of culture in rural areas. It delves into everyday stories and natural-cultural landscapes in three rural regions of Germany. This “ethnographic collage” brings together vignettes, photo essays and reflections at the interface of affect theory, sensory ethnography, artistic research and feminist new materialism. Digitally available audios and videos add to the picture.On the basis of concrete places and institutions, traces and practices of cultural education are also followed; it becomes obvious that rural regions are not “Wastelands”. They offer a wealth of “affective places” to be experienced and lived out.
