N2 - Country'is a word that is made to do much discursive work. In one common configuration, country is synonymous with 'rural', also evinced through terms like countryside and country-minded. Yet, at the same time, country is synonymous with 'nation'. This usage is more emotive and identificatory than administrative, as in 'my country','my land','my homeland'. Augmenting a sense of national allegiance, this use of country evokes something of the connection between people, landscape, belonging, identity and subjectivity.
