Ethnography of post-socialist rural change: social memory, modernity, local empowerment, and internal displacement
Original language description
The aim of this chapter is to examine how social memory affects social interaction in the public space intersected by ongoing processes of transnational mobility. The study uses ethnographic methods and focuses on one of the rural areas in the Czech Republic ? Lipno nad Vltavou ? that has recently adopted the project of tourism as a key development tool. We argue that the ways local actors perceive, reflect, or perhaps subvert and respond to the challenges of recent socio-economic and political transformation through tourism is largely contingent on the ways in which social memory conceptualizes society and social change. We ask how social memory derived from the ?socialist past? affects ongoing processes and practices related to development through tourism, and how new developmental activities are affected by the legacy of socialism. In particular, we examine the contestation over the meaning of modernity in the rural area under study.
