Resumen

La caracterización de la nueva ruralidad, como categoría para diferenciar la vida rural actual de las situaciones agrarias anteriores, sigue siendo un debate abierto. A pesar de los cambios sustanciales que experimentan actualmente las zonas rurales, no está claro qué significa sociológicamente. En los últimos decenios ha habido una continua necesidad de ajustar las categorías analíticas a las cambiantes realidades del mundo rural. Algunos trabajos seminales trataron de explicar la desagrarización como resultado de la reestructuración de las economías regionales por nuevas lógicas productivas y territoriales. Se hizo hincapié en las relaciones económicas. Sin embargo, en el contexto de las sociedades posmodernas, estos análisis olvidaron el cambio cultural y las nuevas pautas de consumo que definían la ruralidad como mercancía. Posteriormente se han incluido otras cuestiones en la teorización del cambio rural, como la globalización y el crecimiento de la diversidad y heterogeneidad social. El trabajo explora esta última transición de las sociedades rurales a partir del análisis del caso español y centrándose en tres procesos principales: la transferencia demográfica de generaciones vitales de las zonas rurales a los centros urbanos, el cosmopolitismo y la diversificación social, y el papel de la movilidad para la articulación de los modos de vida rurales. Los resultados muestran las disparidades subyacentes en estos cambios rurales y la necesidad de revisar las perspectivas teóricas.

An early version of the approach developed here was presented in the Panel on “Rural global transition: From agricultural villages to new ruralities”, Rural History 2019 Conference, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris. The analysis and results are based in findings from the project “Focus on rural gap: accessibility, mobilities and social inequalities -RURAL ACCESS-” (PID2019-111201RB-I00), funded by Spanish Program of Research, Development and Innovation.
