Tout au long de son évolution architecturale et stylistique, le jardin n’a cessé de refléter une vision du monde en s’approchant d’un idéal de vie.

Price:

Summary:
Romanticism was a cultural and intellectual movement characterized by discovery, revolution, and the poetic as well as by the philosophical relationship between people and nature. Botany sits at the intersection where romantic scientific and literary discourses meet. Clandestine Marriage explores the meaning and methods of how plants were represented and reproduced in scientific, literary, artistic, and material cultures of the period. Theresa M. Kelley synthesizes romantic debates about taxonomy and morphology, the contemporary interest in books and magazines devoted to plant study and images, and writings by such authors as Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Letitia Barbauld. Period botanical paintings of flowers are reproduced in color, bringing her argument and the romantics' passion for plants to life. In addition to exploring botanic thought and practice in the context of British romanticism, Kelley also looks to the German philosophical traditions of Kant, Hegel, and Goethe and to Charles Darwin's reflections on orchids and plant pollination. Her interdisciplinary approach allows a deeper understanding of a time when exploration of the natural world was a culture-wide enchantment.

Summary:
Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber. A Forest on the Sea explores the history of this enterprise and Venice's efforts to extend state control over its natural resources. Karl Appuhn explains how Venice went from an isolated city completely dependent on foreign suppliers for wood to a regional state with a sophisticated system of administering and preserving forests. This publication offers a completely novel perspective on how Renaissance Europeans thought about the natural world. It sheds new light on how cultural conceptions about nature influenced political policies for resource conservation and land management in Venice.

Notre époque serait celle de la mobilisation infinie du monde ; tourisme de masse et délocalisations diverses accompagnent un imaginaire de référence marqué par la globalisation de l'espace, la vitesse des circulations et un refus des enracinements définitifs. Une ontologie sociale et culturelle inédite se dessine. De nouvelles géographies du monde apparaissent dans les territoires et les paysages. Que deviennent les paysages quittés ? Comment sont créés, ou recréés, des univers paysagers dans les lieux d'accueil ? Qu'en est-il des paysages des camps dits d'accueil et de transit, des camps de réfugiés ? Ce numéro accueille des contributions s'appuyant sur des études de cas (Yann Lafolie sur l'Atelier solidaire à Lille, Nadine Cattan sur les femmes srilankaises à Beyrouth, Léa Hommage sur la pratique nomade et l'espace urbain à Ulaanbaatar en Mongolie, Bruno Hervé sur le déplacement d'un village au Pérou, Frédéric Pousin sur Garrett Eckbo, Bruno Laperche sur un observatoire palestinien des paysages, Anne-Christine Habbard sur la Partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, Isabel Lopes Cardoso sur les discours sur le paysage au Portugal), et d'autres interrogeant la mobilité comme phénomène social et politique contemporain (Étienne Tassin à travers la notion de «condition migrante», Michel Agier de «paysage global» des camps, Barbara Bender de «Landscapes on-the-move», Vilém Flusser de «philosophie de l'émigration», François Gemenne de «paysage migratoire»).
