TEIXEIRA, Simonne. Cultural landscape and nature representations in two drainage basin in the nineteenth century (Brazil and Spain). Hist. Caribe [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.26, pp.107-133. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.26.2015.5.

Current debates reaffirm that the landscape is not a simple fact of nature, but a product of human interaction with nature, that is, a human construction. Cultural landscapes are historical products, resulting from the activities of our ancestors; constructed over time as a result of the different social practices. This text tells about a possible relationship between the logic of different interventions two hydrographic basin -the Guadalquivir (Spain) River and Paraíba do Sul River (Brazil)- in the nineteenth century. Landscapes add to the issue related to these rivers.

Keywords : Cultural landscape; nature; hydrographic basin; Brazil; Spain.
