“…Within the framework of architectural geography, it has been argued that buildings can be non-human narrators or architectures that speak [64]. Animal geographies have pointed out that non-humans can have subjectivities and agencies; non-human objects can express themselves through experiences of the human body.…”

“…Inanimate narrators (materialities and objects as buildings) can be expressed by projecting human experience on the use of objects. The objects acquire affective, emotional, relational or sensual dimensions that are expressed through material encounters that involve different subjects, objects and experiences in the house's life [64]. Architecture would have affective and emotional dimensions derived from everyday practices [38].…”

“…In short, it is proposed to dissolve the building-object in human practices and experiences, in the context of the materialist approaches of human-building fluid and hybrid. Thus, it is necessary to consider the idea of a house as a living being [64], that is born, grows, needs care and generates emotions, but that may also have its decline and even abandonment. The history of a rural house reflects the history of the family over time [36].…”

“…These categories are of special interest for the historic preservation of popular rural houses and the emblematic rural heritage, since they make it possible to consider buildings as commodities associated with social values and meaning incrusted in the spatial context. This orientation will allow the establishment of new paths and connections through non-human narration about thoughts, experiences and feelings, within the framework of geo-ethnographic research on the life of houses and the architectures of lived experience [64]. Architects are mediators between the new materialism and the experimental need of the (new) owner.…”

Geographic analysis in rural areas has been dominated in recent decades by socio-economic and socio-political perspectives. The new materialism can constitute a way of progress in rural geographical studies that involve the material and the human in the form of hybrid experiences. Materiality can be expressed in three ways: (1) the surface matter that corresponds to the traditional elements of the material rural space, (2) the materiality that would be associated with a joint and undifferentiated vision of human artefacts in a village, mainly the set of rural houses and (3) the experimental materiality that has an individual dimension, the result of the multiple processes of destruction, revival and reconstruction that simultaneously happen in one place. The experimental materiality is of the most interest for geographic analysis since it is where the materiality of the rural house and the individual are hybridized in the process of recovery of the traditional rural house. In the process of recovery of materialities, binary oppositions built in the rigid framework of modernity can be dissolved and established fluid postmodern alternatives co-produced between people and materiality. The new materialism in rural geography can be an alternative path that allows analyzing heterogeneous realities in a hybrid way and contributing in a practical context to the development of new rural policies.
