The European rural world has experienced a deep transformation in the last decades, especially mountainous areas. In this paper we explore the main political and ideological processes that have favored the revaluation of mountainous areas. First, we analyze the institutional recognition of the key role they play in development of human life and its natural and structural handicaps. Secondly, we study the recent evolution of policies directed towards Spanish mountains, namely the Pyrenees. Finally, we look on the social representations of mountain. In this sense, we emphasize the postmodern gaze that includes the signs of rural imaginary.

Palabras llave : mountain; Pyrenees; revaluation; postmodernism.
