| Sumario: | [EN] This paper dealis with a theoretical-epistemological review of Landscape Archaeology. It develops a critic of the "functionalist", "empiricist" and "modernist" concept of Space underlying such strategy of archaeological research. It is shown: (a) the strong relationship between that concept and the capitalist notion of space as a terrotory for exploitation and economo-energetic maximization, and (b) its subordination to Time within the system of knowledge of western Modernity. Bearing in mind these points, this paper points out some theoretical and interpretive alternatives for Landscape Archaeology. According to anthoropological theoretic models and to archaeological data, four major classes of mind-society-space regularities are defined: hunting, savage, peasant and industrial-modern regularity. Each of them show a pasive, participative, domesticater and destructive attitude towards environment with different effects on landscape. In the transition from savage-participative attitude to peasant-domesticater stage emerges the monumental phenomenon, signifying the new socio-cultural situation. |
