Abstract
This paper proposes planetary rural geographies to counter the narrative of planetary urbanization, which has contended that the whole planet has been urbanized and can be understood through urban theory without an outside. While critics have challenged the metrophilia inherent to planetary urbanization, advanced post-colonial critiques, and posited alternative models of ruralization, we argue that these responses fall short of fully embracing the radical potential of a planetary perspective. We call for planetary rural geographies that examine rural places as sites of interaction between diverse more-than-human relations that extend above and below the Earth surface, and contend that the configuration of human-environment interactions at the ‘rural’ end of urban-rural relations is critical to addressing planetary crises. We elaborate this argument by focusing on three geographies of planetary rurality: as a space of crisis, as a space of conflict, and as a space of hope, evidenced by examples drawn from the global rural literature.
