“…Over the course of change, ‘individuals adapt to their surroundings by symbolically connecting past experiences with current circumstances’ (Kaufman , p. 84). In a phenomenological sense, remembering and reminiscence are central to human relation with the world, but their importance increases with higher age when they serve as a binding force to what a person used to be (Kohli ), especially when ageing through periods with mutually exclusive discoursive framings (Pasieka ).…”

Gerontological research has extensively focused on the experiences of people ageing within changing social contexts. However, accounts from the context of the European post-socialist transformation are missing. In addition, there is a lack of theoretical understanding concerning how older people experience ageing as part of the dynamic process of rural change. In this article, we present the perspectives of older Czech rural residents on living and ageing in the changing countryside. Based on 20 qualitative interviews with older adults, we show how they interpret contemporary changes in three major areas: politics and economy, infrastructure and technology, and local population and community life. Embedded in a constructionist approach, we aim to understand how their interpretations of current changes are related to their views on the past, to their self-positioning within current and past changes and their sense of local and social belonging. We introduce the concept of biographical contextualisation, which grasps the temporal horizon of meaning-making with regard to contemporary changes in rural life.

“…Diana Mincyte highlighted the paradox that for Lithuanian planners, small‐scale subsistence farmers who supplied 50 to 70 urban households with milk were seen as a ‘problem’ (2011). Guntra A. Aistara for Latvia () and Agnieszka Pasieka for Poland highlighted conflicts which emerged over different understandings of what organic and ecological farming entailed; in the latter case the language that villagers used to describe the bureaucrats was tantalisingly reminiscent of that used to criticise socialist planners of an earlier era (). Lukáš Zagata argued that early Czech governmental support for organic farming was associated with a weaker commitment on the part of some farmers to a vision of organic farming as part of an alternative food regime; rather it was seen simply as adherence to alternative commercial regulations ().…”

Eastern European Rurality in a Neo‐Liberal, European Union World

The article first argues that we live in a neo‐liberal world in that neo‐liberalism has become the economic orthodoxy which informs policy‐making, but that the commitment of the European Union and its Common Agricultural Policy to neo‐liberalism is somewhat ambiguous. It then examines the impact of that ambiguous Common Agricultural Policy on Eastern European rurality in the decade or so since the New Member States joined. In many respects it has resulted in scenarios similar to developments in western Europe, but in one respect a phenomenon that is present throughout the European Union has been amplified dramatically in its eastern half. Overall, the weaknesses that many have identified in the Common Agricultural Policy have been reproduced in the east, but in a more extreme form.
