Guía de campo para a interpretación do feísmo na paisaxe galega

About this book

The work provides an interesting insight into the evaluation of the Galician landscape. At present, we have numerous methodological proposals from the field of ecology, geography or architecture, as well as integrated proposals, for the evaluation of the landscape. Derived from them, we have different terms to design scenarios of good landscaped quality, as well as those of little visual interest. Among these, the term "feísmo" was becoming increasingly important, mainly supported by social networking and social networks With the term "feísmo" it is a question of agglutinating a heterogeneous set of actions carried out by the human being on the landscape, the result of the introduction of alien elements or distorting constructions that move away from a scenario or a specific kind of landscape of its "exceptional" or "everyday" status. The perception here is the key element, not subject to subjectivity, but also not exempt from criteria or conceptions accepted by most of the citizens. From the analysis of the Galician landscape, from its main components, and from the social perception that is gathered, the authors elaborate a novel typology for the characterization and differentiation of the different manifestations of the feísmo in the landscape of Galicia. The document adopts an air of field guidance, seeking to move away from the disillusioned technicality that prevails in the official documents, to debug the description of a group of 34 types of feísmo the state in which is the landscape of Galicia. Each of the established types is summarized briefly, accompanied by several illustrative photographs. The scheme obtained is considered as an open and adaptable model due to the continuous anthropogenic transformation suffered by the landscape.
