El estudio presta también especial atención a los encuentros más que humanos, si bien estas infraestructuras, además de estar históricamente vinculadas a la trashumancia, tienden a ser colonizadas por múltiples especies vegetales y animales.

Se trata de una investigación antropológica sobre las problemáticas de territorialidad que envuelven los cercados de piedra en seco —construcción sin uso de mortero— en esta región de montaña atravesada durante siglos por la Cañada Real Soriana Occidental.

📄 I’ll share the full PDF here shortly.

And hey—if anyone out there wants to help bring this into English (publishers welcome!), my inbox is open 😅.

Dry-Stone Ecologies is an invitation to read the infrastructuring of territory as a process full of paradoxes and unexpected relationships. And to think about care, forms of ownership and territoriality, and more-than-human coexistence starting from what seems most basic: the stones.

Even once abandoned, these enclosures function as living interfaces between species, practices, and memories. Their gaps—the open joints—become habitat, refuge, and passage for lichens and mosses, brambles, trees, invertebrates, birds and reptiles, rodents and even wild boars.

2️⃣ That a dry-stone wall is not exactly a boundary that cuts, but rather a threshold of coexistence, a structure that gathers. Its materiality imposes regimes of relation and care among neighbours, and enables colonisation and use by numerous plant and animal species.
