The stream of water. Humanistic dialogue about the landscapes of the Marismas del Guadalquivir

Abstract

The humanistic and multi-disciplinary dialogue is the tool that allows us to assay shared interpretations of three landscapes of the Marismas del Guadalquivir. These landscapes are consider as; thesis (Original Lanscape of the Retuerta, shore of the Doñana National Park), antithesis (Colonial and rice landscape of Isla Mayor), and synthesis (Symbolic landscape of La Madre–El Rocío–) of the territorial and landscape configuration of that remarkable space. Fascinated with the marshlands environments and landscapes where
we were born, from where we escaped to grow up but, the ones we constantly appeal; we assume the hermeneutics conviction that any landscape is under a continually stage of interpretation to which you have to access in order to fully understand its meaning and, to be able to add more links to its interpretive chain. The synergy of our conviction will generate new interpretations, which will drive us to read, understand and seek for new stories about our old landscapes.
