| Abstract: | Framed by material ecocriticism and ecological anthropology, this
research aims to understand if we can glimpse a “honey landscape”
hidden in Portuguese fictional narratives and poetry anchored in Alentejo.
What I propose to label as “honey landscape” was considered, by official
narratives from 19th to 20th century, as mere extensions of uncultivated
land. Following the literary sources, we can understand that it is possible
to perceive a multisensory honey landscape beyond the negative and
stereotyped idea of wastelands. I conclude that literature can provide a
new lens in the way we perceive what has been an undervalued landscape:
Alentejo scrublands. |
