The Trend and attributes of the epistemic concept “Galicia” after the Statute of Autonomy: the case of Scopus

Javier Seijo Villamizar
Abstract

Galicia stands out as a key reference point for the most advanced new scientific production. This achievement, after a long period of political and cultural ostracism, led to a political and social process of action for a common social good: the recognition of Galician culture, the generation of its own institutions and a political-administrative framework of multilevel governance. Currently, the term Galicia is interrelated with an incremental and first level interdisciplinary scientific knowledge. Scopus, in the Galician autonomous process, has been an ally for the international projection of the scientific knowledge of the Galician community. Within this framework, the study presents an analysis and dissemination of part of the main scientific production that refers to Galicia with express titles.

Author Biography

Javier Seijo Villamizar, University of Santiago of Compostela

I am a social scientist and interdisciplinary researcher from Galicia. My approach to research stems from working in fisheries anthropology, public administration, advising political and consultancy to organisations.
Currently, the focus of my work is based on the development of theoretical and applied research for the improvement of resilience and governance of artisanal fishing communities and the processes of management, formulation, evaluation and implementation of public policies in the field of civil, public and private organisations.
The problem of democratisation, inequality, human welfare, improvement of the public-private administration and management function is a central theme in the development and interest of my approach to the scientific field and my academic research. This interest, moreover, arises from experience with practical research and dialogues in the field about the context of the problem. Specifically, these elements appear in my trajectory for having participated in innovative projects in the field of artisanal fishing communities and citizenship in Galicia between 2008 and the present. An experience that I have been acquiring, among others, with the work developed with organisations such as AZTI (Basque Country), INAP (Spain), Xunta de Galicia (Dirección Xeral de Comercio, Dirección Xeral de Avaliación do Rendemento). And, specifically linked to the artisanal fishing sector, I highlight the theoretical-practical projects developed with the Lonxanet Foundation for Sustainable Fishing (FLPS), AZTI, and EqualseaLab.
At the methodological level, I work with mixed methodologies and with a participatory-transformative and pragmatic approach.
I have a degree in Political Science and a PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela. I have developed applied social research in the fields of economics, political science, anthropology and sociology.
I promoted the 1st Costa da Morte-Fin da Terra- Fin do Camiño Tourism Congress, following the Prestige oil tanker accident on the Costa da Morte. With the Galician College of Political Science and the Galician Faculty of Political Science, I organised and promoted the "I Xornadas en Historia Política de Galicia" (1st Conference on Galician Political History).
