Alternative Cultures: Visions of Futurity in Rural Asturias

Sponsored by:
Luso-Hispanic Studies, Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, Axinn Center for the Humanities, Dean Of Curriculum, Linguistics, European Studies, and Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies

Once best known for its cows and coal mines, the Spanish region of Asturias has become a cultural capital in recent years. Rural pueblos are at the epicenter of this renaissance, challenging urban-centric ideas of cultural production. Musicians, writers, and other artists look to the region’s agrarian and industrial past to imagine new futures. They incorporate folklore and ways of knowing inspired by older generations, constructing alternative notions of rurality grounded in queerness, inclusivity, and sustainability.
