Cultural Landscape and Territorio : A Dialogical Analysis of Climate Change Geographies.

Quiroga Manrique, Catalina LU and Caretta, Martina Angela LU orcid (2025) In Annals of the American Association of Geographers
Abstract
This article puts into dialogue the concept of cultural landscape originating in Anglophone human geography with the notion of territorio coming from Latin American critical human geography. Through a case study of mangrove restoration in the Colombian Caribbean, we examine how climate change politics and policies affect unequal contexts, reshaping environmental, social, and spatial relations. We argue for the need to analyze current climate change geographies and underscore the necessity of a conceptual dialogue between different academic traditions to address these complexities. By bringing together cultural landscape and territorio, we show that climate change is a historical and spatial process influenced by power dynamics, different... (More)
This article puts into dialogue the concept of cultural landscape originating in Anglophone human geography with the notion of territorio coming from Latin American critical human geography. Through a case study of mangrove restoration in the Colombian Caribbean, we examine how climate change politics and policies affect unequal contexts, reshaping environmental, social, and spatial relations. We argue for the need to analyze current climate change geographies and underscore the necessity of a conceptual dialogue between different academic traditions to address these complexities. By bringing together cultural landscape and territorio, we show that climate change is a historical and spatial process influenced by power dynamics, different actors, and historical contexts. By integrating both concepts, the article uncovers the mechanisms behind still-contested geographies. This dialogue aims to contribute to and enrich ongoing debates in human geography and political ecology by incorporating diverse perspectives, demonstrating how these concepts illuminate the material forms of culture, labor, and power relations, thereby providing a nuanced view of human–environment interactions amid climate change.
