Abstract
Sin entender el territorio, nuestro conocimiento del pasado constituye un paisaje incompleto. La tierra ha sido, es y será esencial en la vida del ser humano. Este trabajo pretende ayudar a completar ese paisaje analizando el papel que tuvo el territorio en dos momentos clave en el proceso de construcción de las identidades colectivas: la formación de los topónimos y la creación de una imagen de honra y orgullo, en este caso, durante la Edad Media. De todos los elementos del territorio que sirvieron para ambos casos, el agua adquirió un especial protagonismo. Madrid, objeto de análisis que cerrará este trabajo, es uno de los ejemplos más claros de ese papel del agua en la construcción de una identidad.
Our knowledge of human past remains incomplete without an understanding of the territory. Land has always been essential for human life. This article aims at broadening this knowledge by analyzing the role of territory in the construction of collective identity at two key moments: in the creation of toponyms and in the building up of an image of pride and reputation, in this case, during the Middle Ages. Among all the territorial elements present in both processes, water had a special prominence. Madrid, the closing chapter of this piece of research, is one of the most clear examples of the impor-tance of water in identity development.
