Author: Albert Kirchengast, Simon Strauß
While everyone is talking about multiple crises, the economy continues to grow, AI promises to reduce complexity, and wars rage, this book takes a stand: it calls for a new relationship with nature and human nature – beyond extractivism and tourism. The authors argue for a fundamental change in mentality, for a “new rurality.” Urban virtues – such as freedom, reason, and intimacy must be rethought and relived with an eye to the forgotten rural spaces. Could a change in our everyday life – decentralised, beyond globalisation and consumption – offer a viable alternative? And what might it look like? 'New Rural' is not a conventional anthology. It is a choreography of various essays and positions that invites us to engage with the material realities of everyday life in new ways.
