Content

Presently we experience a Renaissance of the rural/farming. Accords considering of the civilisation crisis. The rural economy can be looked as a cultural heritage of the humanity - Teodor Shanin* was right. There originates a new/ old understanding of town and country, from the Allmende, from the value of the ground and the food. We will deal during both events with the new phenomena of the rural and formulate a "bridge" between new and old, on the basis of examples from the movement practise and on the basis of theory texts to the new / old connection of culture and economy. The seminar serves the deepening of the lecture subjects.
