Title: Über Almen – zwischen Agrikultur & Trashkultur
Description: The book “Über Almen, zwischen Agrikultur & Trashkultur“ (About Alpine Pastures: agriculture and trash-culture) leads the reader from agricultural use of alpine meadows to touristic use and further to romanticistic views by urban societies. External views of alpine agriculture culminate in a complete virtualization of the term “Alm” (i.e. alpine pasture). This sociological study focuses on the view of Alpine peasants and how they cope with modern challenges.
