Jardins Persas: memórias, narrativas e sensos

Abstract

The Garden can be seen as a landscape, in which we attribute the same meaning when we experience and experience it. This means that it is through the dynamics of our own body that we conceive, perceive and give meaning to landscapes. In this perspective, the landscape is a construction. It is something that you build it and appropriate it, while it appropriates you (PELLINI, 2011). In this sense, gardens are beyond landscapes built in the literal sense of the word, a reflection of individual and collective practices. It is in the garden that body, senses, narratives, and memories establish a dialogue between them. It is in this microsystem that we can understand the longings and ontological aspects of the society in which it is embedded, as it is in Iranian gardens. Where the gardens are directly related to the concept of paradise. In this way, we intend to analyze some of the contemporary Persian gardens, present-day Iran, and of antiquity establishing comparatives with the representation of gardens subsequent to the Persian Empire, as well as some reproductions quoted in documentary sources. From this, it will be possible to discuss the cultural sensorial construction of these people and the speeches involved and sedimented through their gardens.
