“…Some empirical contributions seem to corroborate this line of reasoning in the context of new politics and rural democracy: the studies in these different areas of Mexico by Fox, García and Haight [62] and Otero [63], and also in Brasil [64], by means of lines of thinking for the whole of Latin America [65], or linked to interpretations of transnational social rural movements in Latin America [66]. These studies emphasize the complex and multiple trajectories at a citizen-individual farming-rural level [67].…”

Rural differentiation processes have formed the backbone of rural studies. Owing to the strength of rural–urban and local–global relationships, the theoretical approaches to rural restructuring in the Anglo-Saxon world and new rurality in Latin America only have a limited capacity to explain contemporary global phenomena of rural spaces. Due to this, transverse theoretical and methodological approaches have emerged to explain social, environmental and spatial (rural) processes. Here, a new approach is proposed called the individual–global field, based on the individual–global binary category to substitute the traditional relevance of the locality–community–globality association This new approach tries to reinvigorate rural geography in a more flexible way, based on minor theory, to adapt to all the phenomena that can occur globally. In any case, various spatial planes are proposed, dominated by specific socioeconomic processes on which the rural individual would move.

“…Muy recientemente algunos analistas (Akran-Lodhi y Kay, 2010, y autores en los que sustentan) han argumentado que la cuestión agraria, quizás uno de los puntos más notables de la economía política, no se podía describir de forma unitaria debido a las variadas formas y circunstancias en que se producía, coincidiendo múltiples procesos de manera multifacética e incluso contradictoria que reconfiguran las bases de los procesos laborales y económicos de forma fluida y notoriamente compleja. Algunas aportaciones más empíricas parecen corroborar esta línea argumental en el campo de las new politics y la democracia rural, como los trabajos sobre diferentes áreas de Mexico de Fox et al (2009) y Otero (2004, y en Brasil de Wittman (2009); o en interpretaciones sobre movimientos sociales rurales transnacionales en Latinoamérica (Woods, 2008). Todos ellos ponen énfasis en las complejas y múltiples trayectorias a nivel de ciudadano-individuo agrario-rural en respuesta a la percepción particular de cada individuo en su contexto (Gudeman, 2004).…”

Usually, the study of the rural category is the core of rural studies. The new rurality in Latin America, or the restructuring and rural change in Europe, are limited theoretical constructions to explain the present complexity of rural spaces and societies. These limitations open a new period founded upon mixed and transversal theoretical argumentations to explain social, spatial and environmental processes. These argumentations introduce, clearly, new approaches in the analysis of the rural category, traditionally associated with binary schemes, linked with more flexible categories bound to environmentalism, place, mobility, identity, ethnicity, with a great analytical potential for transversality and ductility. In this tendency the present contribution suggests a new concept: the global individual field. ResumenCon frecuencia el análisis de la ruralidad, desde diversas perspectivas, ha constituido el corazón de los estudios rurales. No obstante, la nueva ruralidad en Latinoamérica o la reestructuración y cambio rural en Europa han constituido construcciones teóricas, en las que se ha evidenciado su limitación para explicar de forma global la complejidad de fenómenos desarrollados en áreas rurales. Esto puede estar dando paso a una etapa donde adquieren más peso los marcos teóricos de carácter más general y transversal en la explicación de fenómenos y procesos sociales, espaciales y ambientales. Ello supone, a partir de diversas perspectivas, vencer la idea de lo rural como una categoría fija y rígida, por categorías más flexibles, donde en muchas ocasiones la ruralidad se ve solapada y forzosamente asociada a categorías como ambientalismo, lugar, movilidad, identidad, etnicidad, que se pueden utilizar transversalmente de una manera dúctil. En esta tendencia se propone un nuevo concepto: elcampoindividualglobal.

“…A recent comprehensive review of that research found significant gaps in areas where other disciplines could contribute: 'on the rights and needs of CHWs, … on CHWs as community change agents, and on the influence of health system decentralization, social accountability, and governance' (Scott et al 2018). 3 For a study of how grassroots rural movements in Mexico's state of Guerrero applied the discourse of transparency and accountability to their longstanding justice struggles, see Fox, Jiménez, and Haight (2009). 4 Now that the term 'frontline' has been widely applied to health workers who risk their lives in order to carry out their mission, the term's military association recalls previous episodes in history when health workers have faced direct military threatsas in the case of Nicaragua in the 1980s, when civilian health workers in rural areas were targeted for assassination by the US government-backed Contra rebels.…”

As the pandemic reveals how multiple intersecting inequalities affect public health, the work of rural activists defending their communities' rights to health, land, and gender, ethnic and environmental justice demonstrate how intersectional analysis can be put into practice. In the interviews that follow, Guatemalan Maya Tz'utujil activists Paulina Culum and Benilda Batzin describe how 'health rights defenders' seek justice for rural indigenous communitieswork that the pandemic makes more critical than ever. Their strategies and insights have implications for addressing rural health rights around the world.
