Abstract

Research on the intermediate space or interface where rural and urban boundaries become blurred has been gaining momentum within geography and other intersecting fields. In contrast to the dominant focus on the growth of urbanism at the rural-urban interface, a growing number of studies have emerged to intervene the debate from the rural side. This paper contributes to this burgeoning scholarship by reviewing recent work on geographical articulations of rurality in the face of urbanizing forces and processes operating in intermediate spaces. I firstly explore how extant representations of rurality at the rural-urban interface are inherent with an “idyllic” vision, a “modernist” one or a combination of both, and how the interactions among multiple rural visions produce tensions and conflicts at the interface. Then, I outline the recent conceptualizations of rurality under the relational and materialist turns, which move beyond the discursive construction of the countryside and offer new theoretical insights and analytical concepts for appreciating multiple, heterogeneous, open and inclusive articulations of rural voices at the interface. Finally, I map out directions for future research to attend to the insufficiently-addressed temporal dimensions of the rural-urban interface, thereby moving current discussions of relational rurality forward.

城乡结合部乡村性的地理衔接
在地理和其他交叉领域,对农村和城市边界变得模糊的中间空间或界面的研究势头越来越大。与主要关注城乡界面城市化发展的观点相反,越来越多的研究从农村方面介入了这场争论。本文通过回顾最近在面对城市化力量和在中间空间运作的过程时对农村的地理表达的研究,为这一新兴的学术做出了贡献。我首先探讨了“田园诗般”的愿景、“现代主义”的愿景或两者的结合,以及多种乡村愿景之间的互动如何在界面上产生紧张和冲突。然后,我概述了最近在关系和唯物主义转向下对乡村的概念化,这些概念超越了乡村的话语建构,并为欣赏乡村声音在界面上的多重、异质、开放和包容的表达提供了新的理论见解和分析概念。最后,我为未来的研究指明了方向,以关注农村-城市界面的时间维度,从而推动当前对关系农村的讨论向前发展。
