Resumen
ENTRENA-DURAN, Francisco. Rurality in Spain: from Conservative Mystification to New Ruralism. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.69, pp.39-65. ISSN 0122-1450.
The object of this paper is to analyse changes in the collective imaginary regarding Spanish rurality from 1940 to the present. For this purpose a historical-sociological methodology was used that allows for the differentiation of three different phases in the evolution of this imaginary. These phases are: 1) conservative mystification of rurality; 2) contempt and disdain for rural life; 3) current tendencies towards the revalorisation of rural areas, which came about simultaneously with growing consideration for rural areas as places for leisure and tourism. The study of these transformations shows that the Spanish collective imaginary on rurality is not intrinsic and indifferent to time and context, but the product of a social construction in constant social and historical change.
