Landscape and justice: the case of Greeks, space and law

Abstract

Discourses of landscape and justice entail tensions, claims and conflicts over landed rights and identities; they reveal how landscape comes into being through land stewardship that responds to these tensions and interactions. This article critically traces the drivers of custom and change, and their impact on the land in the context of community life in Greece, starting from, and referring back to, landscape. The relationship of Greeks to land and landscape tends to defy standard legal ‘reason’ and ‘logic’ regarding sustainable and democratic stewardship of landscape as a common good; it is rather shaped through the negation of top-down legislation of various sorts, creating room for anarchic landscapes, that may contribute to community-building, but are also often wrought by narrowly defined, short-term interests. Such practices may operate to the detriment of social needs and to rights, but also claim room and prospect for community survival, under dire conditions of contemporary socio-economic crisis.
