SoSe 22: Aspiring and Resisting Rural Change
Michaela Haug
Comments
This course explores economic change, particularly agrarian change, in rural areas. The regional focus will be on Southeast Asia, but we will also develop a comparative perspective, looking at similar dynamics in other regions of the Global South and the Global North. We start with discussing classical assumptions about the trajectories of agrarian change. We then explore recent processes of rural transformations and address, amongst others, the following questions: How do local people shape, resist and respond to rural change? Whose aspirations and what kind of imaginations drive rural transformations? What values are attached to agricultural and agroforestry practices and what kinds of rural futures do people imagine? close
