Abstract

Several disciplines have discussed the formal characteristics of rural spaces, as well as the appropriate concepts for studying their reconfiguration. This essay focuses on reviewing the approaches to analyze contemporary ruralities and groups them infour categories: a) the sociological-analytical approaches, which refer to political, social and cultural processes that emerge as a result of globalization b) the sociological-normative approaches, which intend to understand the causes of social change in order to propose plans that genérate transformation in territories and for the rural people lifestyles c) the spatial approaches, which explore the emergence and linkages among cities of several sizes and their hinterlands andd) the neo-marxist approaches, which study theproduction relationships and their effects on the transformation of rural forms. The contents and theoretical assumptions of these proposals are analyzed to show the underlying different meanings ofrurality and to distinguish different perspectives and methods used by each approach.
