"Hortus inclusus": Expanding Boundaries of Space and Time - 27-28/06/2017, Roma (Italy)
This conference aims to deepen historical and environmental understanding of garden landscapes in the Roman empire, and tshape the conversation for the next generation of scholars. Taking inspiration from Virgil’s complaint in Georgics 4.147-8 that he cannot speak any longer on the subject of gardens because he is constrained (excludo) by space and time, Hortus inclusus expands the boundaries of the Roman garden beyond the Horti of the city of Rome by focusing on the following themes:
-New Knowledge: Highlighting advances in archaeological recovery techniques, the application of digital technologies, and the discovery of new garden sites.
-Intersections: Developing a multidimensional understanding of the function and meaning of gardens and gardened landscapes through the application of critical theory.
-Afterlife: Investigating the resonance and reception of the Roman garden in post-classical contexts.
