TY - JOUR AU - Melo Filho, Dirceu Cadena PY - 2021/02/10 TI - LANDSCAPE POLICY AND POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IN SÃO PAULO JF - Mercator; Vol 20 (2021)DO - 10.4215/rm2021.e20008 KW - N2 - This article analyzes how the concept of landscape was transformed into an urban policy device in the municipality of São Paulo, structuring institutional and emerging practices. Although traditionally presented as polysemic, the concept of landscape is seldom used in political geography. Our research analyses the landscape concepts in the Clean City Law and the Territories of Interest for Culture and Landscape as examples of the landscape policy process, which enabled the landscape's mobilization by movements opposed to governmental decisions, giving rise to political landscapes. This aspect is discussed based on field observations of the demonstrations involving the Teatro Oficina and the documents produced on these movements. The results reveal how the landscape has been used to carry out political actions and show that new understandings of the concept structure different political spaces. Keywords : Landscape Policy.
