| Spanish abstract | En el contexto geográfico iberoamericano, el análisis de la fauna silvestre se ha insertado tradicionalmente en el campo de la zoogeografía, mientras que el estudio de la ganadería y de la fauna cinegética se ha abordado desde la geografía rural y del turismo y, en menor medida, desde la geografía del paisaje. En la geografía anglosajona, sin embargo, desde los años noventa del siglo XX se ha venido desarrollando una nueva corriente conocida como “geografía de los animales”. Con una perspectiva diferente -en este caso desde la geografía cultural-, esta subdisciplina analiza la dimensión espacial de las complejas relaciones entre el ser humano y los animales. Su desarrollo y expansión se han materializado con la aparición de un creciente número de publicaciones en torno al análisis de dichas dimensiones. Se trata de un campo prometedor que está comenzando a ser explorado también por los geógrafos franceses. Sin embargo, esta corriente aún no ha calado lo suficiente en el ámbito de la geografía de habla hispana |
| English abstract | Within the Ibero-American geographic context, investigations on wildlife have traditionally been ascribed to Zoogeography, while the study of livestock and wildlife hunting has been studied from the rural geography and tourism perspectives and, to a lesser extent, from landscape geography. In the Anglo-Saxon geography, however, a new trend known as “animal geography” has emerged since the 1990s. Adapting a different perspective -cultural geography --, this sub-discipline analyzes the spatial dimension of the complex relationships between humans and animals. Its development and expansion has materialized with the availability of a growing number of publications that analyze these dimensions. It is a promising field that is beginning to be explored by French geographers as well. However, this approach has not been deeply rooted within the geographic field in Spanish-speaking countries. The present work aims to 1) identify and characterize the different approaches focused on animals within the geographic context of an Ibero-American country, by selecting the specific case of Spain; and 2) summarize the main lines of research arising within the framework of the new geography of animals. The ultimate goal is to explore the opportunities and challenges involved in this emerging field for Ibero-American geographers. The methodology is based on a comprehensive review of the scientific literature currently available. A search, collection, and analysis of scientific articles published in English, Spanish and French as of June 2018 was conducted. The sources searched include: i) platforms such as Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, and Google Scholar; ii) Spanish journals of geography; iii) proceedings of all Biogeography Congresses held in Spain to date; (iv) international scientific journals of general geography and, in particular, of cultural geography. For the case of Spain, the results obtained allowed the identification of a zoogeographic current developed over |
