Subject: Smithsonian Botanical Symposium, May 2004
***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING***
"Botanical Progress, Horticultural Innovations, and Cultural Changes":
Smithsonian Botanical Symposium 2004, in collaboration with Dumbarton Oaks
and the United States Botanic Garden, Washington DC, May 6-8, 2004.
In order to analyze the potential impact on the fields of botany and
horticulture of modern changes in scientific and cultural practices,
presentations at this symposium will offer broad perspectives, relating
large botanical and horticultural changes to the cultural, social, economic,
and political context throughout history. The contributions of botanical and
horticultural changes to very different domains of culture and social
practice, such as medicine, religious practices, eating habits, taste for
exoticism, production and use of perfumes, conspicuous consumption, and
social distinction, will also be examined.
Attendees will be able to register for the Dumbarton Oaks sessions (May 6
and 7), the Smithsonian session (May 8), or both.
