This volume discusses gardens as designed landscapes of mediation
between nature and culture, embodying different levels of human
control over wilderness, defining specific rules for this
confrontation and staging different forms of human dominance. The
contributing authors focus on ways of rethinking the garden and its
role in contemporary society, using it as a crossover platform
between nature, science and technology. Drawing upon their diverse
fields of research, including History of Science and Technology,
Environmental Studies, Gardens and Landscape Studies, Urban
Studies, and Visual and Artistic Studies, the authors unveil
various entanglements woven in the past between nature and culture,
and probe the potential of alternative epistemologies to escape the
predicament of fatalistic dystopias that often revolve around the
Anthropocene debate. This book will be of great interest to those
studying environmental and landscape history, the history of
science and technology, historical geography, and the environmental
humanities.
