Water as rural heritage: Reworking modernity through resource conflict in Edwards County, Kansas

Article Abstract:

A resource conflict is examined by juxtaposing impact analyses often used in juridical resolution with discourse analyses of affected rural communities. A case study is presented where the purchase of property by mid-size city in central Kansas to transfer water from a ranch along the Arkansas River in rural Edwards County evoked expressions of water as 'heritage', functioning as a placed-based, defensive ideology.

The Country Code and the ordering of countryside citizenship

Article Abstract:

The assembly of the Country Code and its wider project circulated to reify a particular construction of countryside citizenship is reviewed. It is argued that the revisions and wider changes in associated materials and mediation of the code are indicative of the way that countryside politics is changing to reflect both a post-productivist and post-feudal countryside.

Trajectories in people's farming in Moscow oblast during the post-socialist transformation

Article Abstract:

An attempt made to focus on how Russia's smallest farms have responded to the challenges of the market and on their place in the broader picture of agrarian change in the past decade is presented. Results reveal that allotment production has become highly commercialised and has occupied the niche reserved in post-communist land reform legislation for private farms.
