摘要

The human being has distanced himself from nature and repudiated its naturalness through technology, which has profoundly transformed the solid surface of our planet. The sea, due to its physical characteristics, has resisted this process. Consequently, the sea has been conceptually rejected, relegating it to pure aesthetic enjoyment or considering it a hostile space to be exploited without hesitation. Those who have dealt with the sea know that it is not bendable to human will but allows choices. Being able to choose means being free. The cultural geography of the sea can help us understand the deep relationship with this space and structure an equal relationship because freely confronting it requires acceptance of diversity and the equal dignity of one’s interlocutor. Confronting the sea can help reunite us with the deep sense of our naturalness.
