Abstract:
How have ideas about nature underpinned British colonial rule in Cyprus? How did these ideas find expression in the design of public parks on the island? And, how were these ideas adopted, transformed and challenged by Cypriots in the space of the Nicosia Municipal Garden during and after British rule? What, ultimately, is the relationship be nature, culture and power?
In her forthcoming work, titled “Identity in the Garden: The Case of the Nicosia Municipal Garden,” Dr Elena Parpa (Unic, Cyprus) invites readers to look beyond layout, design, monuments and architecture in order to see the garden as a space “where authority and power, notions of nationhood and gender identity [are] debated and explored.”
In this live episode of the Bαhçές Histories* of Cyprus, Dr Elena Parpa joins Bαhçές editor Dr Loizos Kapsalis to discuss her recent work on the history of public parks in Cyprus, the process of researching and writing about landscapes, and the enduring role “the garden” plays in the negotiation of social relations in colonial and post-colonial contexts.
