摘要:This article takes the view that natural parks are as much an opportunity to pause for reflection on the ideological foundations of the way we live our culture, as they are an invitation to cast doubt on neoliberal conservationist policies dressed up as ecologicallyminded ones. Protected areas make for difficult analysis. They entail processes that are associated to territorialization and de-territirialization, to homogenization and crossbreeding, to tertiarization, regulation and re-urbanization, and so on, within what has come to be known as globalization. This way of exercising power leads to the regulation of nature through a variety of ways of mercantilization. This article looks at the complex expression of natural parks. To do so, we have approached the multiple dimensions of the “natural”, focusing particularly on the political dimension. We have paid special attention to the mechanisms of configuration and legitimization of natural spaces, such as in the first framework of analysis, and we approach the ethnography produced in our country with the aim of looking at the processes with which they are identified nowadays. Finally, we consider the challenges facing natural areas and the role of anthropology as a discipline in this field.
