This paper considers recent pleas for a ‘geography of gentrification’, arguing that they have been very urban in focus and often enact what, following Soja (1996), might be described as ‘firstspace epistemology’. The identifies traces other, secondspace thirdspace geographies gentrification. It is argued these may not fully commensurable with each other but some commensurability rural well the spatialities. goes on to explore arguments relation studies gentrification British countryside,...
Abstract This paper examines the interrelationships between concepts of counterurbanisation and rural gentrification, suggesting that four different positions can be identified. Firstly, these are highly commensurable could usefully more closely aligned. Secondly, gentrification has a political/critical dimension is missing from conceptualisations counterurbanisation, hence might displace as focus study. Thirdly, less reductionist concept than therefore researchers need to disentangle...
This paper explores how conceptions of displacement have been challenged and adapted as the study gentrification has expanded to encompass a series new contexts, including post-industrial conversions new-build urban developments within beyond Global North. Attention is draw Peter Marcuse's work on displacement, some his conceptualisations different forms significant in cross-contextual discussions gentrification, although other aspects work, such relationship between abandonment received...
The epistemologies and politics of comparative research are prominently debated within urban studies, with 'comparative urbanism' emerging as a contemporary lexicon studies. study gentrification has, after some delay, come to engage these debates, which can be seen pose major challenge the very concept gentrification. To date, similar debates or developments have not unfolded rural This article seeks address challenges posed studies through an examination strategies comparison how they might...
Gentrification has long been the subject of considerable interest and debate amongst geographers. A range differing ontological epistemological conceptions gentrification have advanced, with attempts often being made to legislate between them establish some definitive categorizations gentrification. The majority studies are also highly urbanized: is seen explicitly or implicitly as a phenomenon that occurs in urban space. This paper questions both legislative foci studies, by outlining an...
The paper explores the concept of baroque rurality through employing concepts affect and affordance within a study an English village experiencing rural gentrification. begins by outlining rurality, contrasting it with so-called romantic approaches that have employed abstract notions environmental or natural factors in accounts in-migrational decision making. This then outlines conceptions affect, more-than-representational perspectives before moving to empirical examination relations...
Co-design is intrinsically linked to the notion of empowerment, however little research has focussed specifically on understanding types, obstacles and sources empowerment in co-design. This paper combines theoretical investigations with observations derived from co-designed by academic non-academic partners explore these issues, particular, role shared material objects processes supporting during The uses notions 'power over,' to', with' within' tease out different aspects draws empirical...
Abstract S hucksmith (2012) has recently suggested that rural research might be refreshed by incorporating theoretical insights have emerged through a renewal of class analysis. This article seeks to advance this proposed agenda exploring the concept asset‐based analysis and its association with social capital. The explores connections between capital, understandings community, noting how all been associated long running unresolved debates. Attention is drawn problems modernist legislative...
In response to the five commentaries on our paper ‘Comparative approaches gentrification: lessons from rural’, we open up more ‘windows’ rural gentrification and its urban counterpart. First, highlight issues of metrocentricity urbanormativity within studies, highlighting their employment by commentators. Second, consider issue displacement operation space, as well a coping strategy for neoliberal existence connections more-than-human natures. Finally, questions scale, need avoid...
Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly originating from wildlife. Many of these have significant impacts on human health, domestic animal and biodiversity. Surveillance is the key to early detection emerging diseases. A zoo based wildlife disease surveillance program developed in Australia incorporates information free-ranging into existing national health system. This uses a collaborative approach provides strong model for that enhances capacity
This paper considers the significance of representations rurality and displacement in relation to concept rural gentrification. Studies gentrification have often drawn upon notions idyll, but neglected consider presence, or not, displacement. It has been argued that this lack attention reflects an absence connected with middle class in-migration, particularly early decades counterurbanisation. aims examine these arguments drawing on research publications archived materials stemming from a...
Recent years have seen the growth of planetary perspectives related to urbanisation and gentrification that challenged significance differentiations rural urban space. This paper explores arguments advanced in these perspectives, highlighting claims they are based on a critique methodological territorialism has long been employed studies, as well exhibiting an urbanormativity was arguably absent from some earlier critiques people such Ray Pahl. seeks develop study avoids territorialism....
