{"product_id":"9783986120160","title":"New Rural: a stance for the future","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor: Albert Kirchengast,  Simon Strauß\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile everyone is talking about multiple crises, the economy continues to grow (green), 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— decentralized, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783986120160.
