Comparative ruralism and ‘opening new windows’ on gentrification
journal contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 11:09 authored by Martin Phillips, Darren SmithDarren SmithIn response to the five commentaries on our paper ‘Comparative approaches to gentrification: lessons from the rural’, we open up more ‘windows’ on rural gentrification and its urban counterpart. First, we highlight
the issues of metrocentricity and urbanormativity within gentrification studies, highlighting their employment by our commentators. Second, we consider the issue of displacement and its operation within rural
space, as well as gentrification as a coping strategy for neoliberal existence and connections to more-thanhuman natures. Finally, we consider questions of scale, highlighting the need to avoid naturalistic conceptions of scale and arguing that attention could be paid to the role of material practices, symbolizations and lived experiences in producing scaled geographies of rural and urban gentrification.
