CAROLINO, Júlia  y  PINTO-CORREIA, Teresa. Material landscape, symbolic landscape, and identity in the municipality of Castelo de Vide. Anál. Social [online]. 2011, n.198, pp.89-113. ISSN 0003-2573.

This article addresses the impact of landscape and social identity on contemporary transformations and the reinvention of rural space in Castelo de Vide (North Alentejo region, Portugal). We describe a multidisciplinary research method combining anthropology and geography, and present the findings obtained. Combining a landscape typology with personal narratives of place - social-cum-spatial differentiation - allows us to explore relationships between landscape and local identity as a dynamic process in the region.

Palabras clave : Castelo de Vide; landscape; local identity; rurality.
