Abstract
What is the future of mountainous depopulating regions and how idyllic are peripheral mountainous lands? The lecture will explore processes of urbanisation that occur in peripheral landscapes, seemingly intact areas of ‘nature’ and ‘uninhabited land’. In particular, we will revisit the mythicised landscapes of Arcadia in Greece, framing a contemporary, radically depopulating mountainous region. Through oral histories and material collected from fieldwork, we will reveal an unprecedented operation of land-grabbing, enclosure and privatisation that has been currently taking place in Greek peripheral landscapes. In mountains and islands, forests and protected areas processes of primitive accumulation and enclosure of commons currently unfold under the narrative of ‘green development’ and the pretext of climatic emergency.
