Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
From what Xurxo Ay\u00e1n called \u2018electrofascism\u2019 in the analysis of hydroelectric plants in Galicia, to the new developments in Eolic fields, the management of energy has been problematic in the region. Producing way over the local needs, new projects are greenlighted to serve other regions (aka Madrid) with great controversy and an impact in local life. Understanding the dynamics of energy production and the industry behind can bring out many issues of power and conflict that explain current society. The resistance to open Lithium mines (recent case in C\u00e1ceres, central Spain) is maybe another thread to analyse storage and this same power dynamics in a more international level. Galicia is a region that still maintains in many areas a community management of forests that is unlike anything else in Spain. Also connected with the previous point (impact of Eolic projects), since the 19 th century the logging industry has been a major game changer in this sense with the introduction of eucalyptus (first) and back to leafy trees and pine (nowadays). The turn to a more sustainable forest management is an interesting issue in the understanding of the relation human-nature, as it usually misses the historical\/archaeological perspective. An archaeological approach to forest management in the last 150 years can tell a lot in this sense and the evolution itself of occidental society. Some Galician cities like Ferrol and Lugo (main exponents) have seen a surge in street art that contrasts the hype and the tradition. Traditional graffiti artists in Spain did not paint murals but tags and some small pieces. With the hype of murals the whole movement grew and some areas got impacted by it. For example, some neighbourhoods in Ferrol were revitalised with murals, including some local artists getting recognised, and a piece in Lugo was recently recognised as the best mural in the world by a magazine. Studying the movement in the last twenty years can be very interesting to understand social dynamics in certain areas (usually vulnerable), even including the issue of neo-rural communities and social conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We still lack a proper archaeological approach to tourism (so far, only Ideas from Jaime Almansa-S\u00e1nchez<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dr Jaime Almansa-Sanchez Contemporary archaeology is slowly growing in Spain in what regards to non-conflict scenarios.

anthropology has been close to what we can see). The tourism industry has growth exponentially in the last years, specially after the pandemic. From the Camino (and the huge impact for local communities) to the Christmas lights in Vigo (the city cannot physically host that many visitors), passing by towns built around tourism (A Toxa) or new trends relating to popular culture (film, TV, etc.).
