What Crisis?

• The aim of this paper is to revisit a study that I made some years ago on a comparison between feminist and rural research and analysis. In an article published in Norsk Geografisk tidskrift 2001 (Forsberg, G., 2001, Rural and gender studies: A conceptual comparison, Norsk Geografisk Tidskrift  Vol 55, No 3, 2001, 152-160.) I made an overview of the development in Nordic rural research together with the corresponding development in gender studies. The analysis focused on phases with its prevailing doctrines or discourses. I found the similarities strikingly evident, even if I found some important differences as well. Underlying analysis was the way rural and women were understood in relation to urban areas and men respectively. Both were analysed in the light of crisis. Looking at contemporary research from this position, which is the crisis that rural reseraches are scrutinizing today?
