Resumo(s)
Gardens of Madeira - Gardens of the World: Contemporary Approaches displays present tendencies in calling upon the idea of gardens, being a wide-range approach to their literary, sociological and cultural representations. The book`s four parts: 'Madeira: A Garden in the Sea?', 'Gardens as Temporal and Spatial Category. Cultural and Literary Approaches', 'Gardens as an Expression. Socio-cultural Perspectives' and 'Re-Creating the Archetypal Garden Discourses and Practices' refer to vast geographical and cultural areas, starting with the very complex sample of the overseas-yet-European Island of Madeira, and then joining the exemplification material from historical and contemporary European communities (with some luso-centric accents), including examples from the less known Slavonic and Eastern European countries. Those European issues are confronted with various non-European societies such as from Africa, Asia, and both Americas.
