0Last Thursday (December 19) at Accent Sisters, we had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of The Agritopianists: Thinking and Practice in Rural Japan with its author Ou Ning and translators Matt Turner and Weng Haiying.
As a part of his research and writing series on the historical practices of communitarian utopia in different countries since the 19th century, Ou Ning’s new book The Agritopianists: Thinking and Practice in Rural Japan focuses on the labor and life experiments of a group of intellectuals in rural areas of this Asian country in the 20th century. From the collective Atarashiki-mura (New Village) Movement initiated by Mushakoji Saneatsu, through many other individual semi-agricultural life practices of Japanese writers and artists, the book traces the emergence of a shared agricultural fundamentalism that informed and evolved into active political interventions in response to the social crisis caused by the Great Depression.

上周四（12月19日），在Accent Sisters的新家，我们很高兴与作者欧宁及译者Matt Turner和Weng Haiying一起庆祝《农本主义者：日本乡村的思想与实践》一书的发布。
作为他关于19世纪以来各国共有主义乌托邦历史实践研究与写作系列的一部分，欧宁的新书《农本主义者：日本乡村的思想与实践》聚焦于20世纪日本乡村地区一批知识分子的劳动与生活实验。从武者小路实笃发起的新村运动，到日本作家和艺术家的众多个人半农生活实践，该书追溯了一种共享的农业基本主义的兴起。这种基本主义在应对大萧条引发的社会危机过程中逐渐演化为积极的政治介入。
