Download or read book Cultivated Power written by Elizabeth Hyde and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2005-03-07 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultivated Power explores the collection, cultivation, and display of flowers in early modern France at the historical moment when flowering plants, many of which were becoming known in Europe for the first time, piqued the curiosity of European gardeners and botanists, merchants and ministers, dukes and kings. Elizabeth Hyde reveals how flowers became uniquely capable of revealing the curiosity, reason, and taste of those elite men who engaged in their cultivation. The cultural and increasingly political value of such qualities was not lost on royal panegyrists, who seized upon the new meanings of flowers in celebrating the glory of Louis XIV. Using previously unexplored archival sources, Hyde recovers the extent of floral plantations in the gardens of Versailles and the sophisticated system of nurseries created to fulfill the demands of the king's gardeners. She further examines how the successful cultivation of those flowers made it possible for Louis XIV to demonstrate that his reign was a golden era surpassing even that of antiquity. Cultivated Power expands our knowledge of flowers in European history beyond the Dutch tulip mania, and restores our understanding of the importance of flowers in the French classical garden. The book also develops a fuller perspective on the roles of gender, rank, and material goods in the age of the baroque. Using flowers to analyze the movement of culture in early modern society, Cultivated Power ultimately highlights the influence of curious florists on the taste of the king, and the extension of the cultural into the realm of the political.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette étude anthropologique de quatre jardins collectifs urbains, familiaux et partagés, montre que la question de la préservation y est centrale. Il s'agit de jardins cultivés de façon biologique. Le lien des jardiniers aux plantes cultivées, et notamment aux plantes plus sauvages, comme les mauvaises herbes, y est particulier, comme dans toute horticulture de jardinage, mais aussi justement en raison de ce choix du mode de culture. Les jardiniers échangent beaucoup entre eux, des savoirs, mais aussi des plantes, des légumes, de façon non contraignante. Ce qu'ils donnent emporte une partie d'eux, car ils les ont cultivés eux-mêmes. Ils envisagent leur collectifs comme à part dans la société. Les conflits y sont difficilement admissibles et réglés en faveur de la stabilité du groupe, car il existe une forme d'idéalisation de la collectivité en rapport avec ce lieu particulier au sein de la ville. Le jardin représente en effet pour eux une forme de présentation de soi en tant qu'individu, mais aussi de la collectivité face à la ville. Il est également considéré comme une portion de nature douée d'intentions bienveillantes et généreuses envers les humains, mais aussi comme un paysage, car il est dévoué à la contemplation. Tout ceci en fait un lieu à protéger, à préserver et la clôture qui le ceint matérialise cette volonté de protection. Le jardin est donc un lieu civilisé face à la ville qui représente le sauvage. La clôture qui sépare le jardin de l'extérieur n'empêche pas les échanges, de plantes, de savoirs ; entre les humains, comme entre les non-humains. En fin de compte, tous ces prismes pour observer ces jardins collectifs se rejoignent pour les envisager comme des lieux à préserver, dont l'imaginaire est lié à celui du paradis, lieu prolifique et clos. Trois logiques horticoles des jardiniers, productive, esthétique et écologique sont identifiées et y sont directement liées.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-cultural exchange of ideas that flourished in the Mediterranean during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries profoundly affected European and Islamic society. Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires considers the role and place of gardens and landscapes in the broader context of the information sharing that took place among Europeans and Islamic empires in Turkey, Persia, and India. In illustrating commonalities in the design, development, and people’s perceptions of gardens and nature in both regions, this volume substantiates important parallels in the revolutionary advancements in landscape architecture that took place during the era. The contributors explain how the exchange of gardeners as well as horticultural and irrigation techniques influenced design traditions in the two cultures; examine concurrent shifts in garden and urban landscape design, such as the move toward more public functionality; and explore the mutually influential effects of politics, economics, and culture on composed outdoor space. In doing so, they shed light on the complexity of cultures and politics during the Renaissance. A thoughtfully composed look at the effects of cross-cultural exchange on garden design during a pivotal time in world history, this thought-provoking book points to new areas in inquiry about the influences, confluences, and connections between European and Islamic garden traditions. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Cristina Castel-Branco, Paula Henderson, Simone M. Kaiser, Ebba Koch, Christopher Pastore, Laurent Paya, D. Fairchild Ruggles, Jill Sinclair, and Anatole Tchikine.

This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructing Gardens, Cultivating the City is the first cultural history of major new parks developed in Paris in the late twentieth century, as part of the city's program of adaptive reuse of industrial spaces. Thanks to laws that gave the city more political autonomy, Paris's local government launched a campaign of park creation in the late 1970s that continued to the turn of the millennium. The parks in this book represent this campaign and illustrate different facets of their cultural and historical context. Archival research, interviews, and analyses of the parks reveal how postmodern debates about urban planning, the historic city, public space, and nature's presence in an urban setting influenced their designs. In sum, the city adopted the garden as a model for public parks, investing in complex, richly symbolic and representational spaces. These parks were intended to represent contemporary twists on traditional designs and serve local residents as much as they would contribute to Paris's role as a world city. The parks' development process often included points of conflict, pointing to differing views on what Parisian space should represent and fundamental contradictions between the characteristics of public space and the garden as it is traditionally defined. These parks demonstrate the ongoing cultivation of the city over time, in which transformed sites not only fulfil new functions but also engage with history and their surroundings to create new meaning. They stand for landscape as a form of signifying cultural production that directly engages with other art forms and ways of knowing. Just as the Luxembourg Gardens, the Tuileries, and the Buttes-Chaumont parks exemplify their eras' cultural dynamics, such parks as the Jardin Atlantique, Parc André-Citroën, and the Jardin des Halles express contemporary French culture within the archetypal space of their era, the city. Finally, they point the way to current trends in landscape architecture, such as citizen gardening and ecological initiatives.
