Jardines: paseos por la memoria en Cataluña
Abstract
The present resurgence of ethnic minorities together with anthropology’s constant interest in ethnicity and in the invention of tradition have come together in a fruitful way clearly exposing the complexity of both the materials and forms used to build and to experience cultural identities. Having rejected an essencialist notion of ethnicity the emphasis is now put on the ability to prefer and to choose from a wide repertoire of action and of imagination, both activated by the social actors through the creation anew of meanings, images, ideas and ideals that will then act as inspiration for ideological systems, aesthetics and the practices of daily life. This paper approaches the Catalan identity through the relation between aesthetics and identity of which gardens are taken as an example.
