AB The approval of the European Landscape Convention in 2000 placedlandscape at the centre of the political debate and gave it visibility. Atthat time, a movement surrounding the concept of ugliness began inGalicia (Spain), which condemned the degradation of the Galician landscapeas a result of public and private actions that destroy what is understoodas the typical Galician landscape. The media and experts are activelyinvolved in this discourse. In this article, we reflect on the concept ofugliness and relate it to policies of power that seek to confront theresistance of the Galician rural world. We analyse the links between thecanonical Galician landscape, which dates back to the nineteenth century,and ugliness, as well as the current authorised landscape discourse.
