Resumo(s)
Due to the global acceptance of the reality of global warming, ever more countries are
in the process of implementing alternative energies such as wind power. In this article,
we focus on the transformation of space as a consequence of these newly established
alternative energy policies. Landscapes are the level at which political visions and policy
decisions endorse (or not) their very materiality. We analyze the deployment of wind
power in three European countries, France, Germany and Portugal through the lens of
ethnographic landscape studies. We argue that the successful implementation of low
carbon futures is highly dependent on the respective national cultures of administration
as well as on local practices, initiatives and perceptions of space at the local level.
In each of the countries under scrutiny, we analyze the way in which wind power and
landscape issues are framed, we point at potential tensions and explore how these are
overcome (or not) at the local level so as to give way for the emergence of (new) wind
power landscapes. We compare the role played by landscape cultures, institutions or
practices in the development and resolution of tensions over the deployment of wind
energy.
