Fray Agustin "The Book of Agricultural Secrets" and the Human-Plants Relationships during Early Modernity

Based on the analysis of an agriculture book written in 1617 in Spain, I propose to discuss the concepts used by the anthropological sciences to understand people relationships with plants, especially with trees, in early modernity.

description Based on the analysis of an agriculture book written in 1617 in Spain, I propose to discuss the concepts used by the anthropological sciences to understand people relationships with plants, especially with trees, in early modernity. Through a comparative exercise, I reflect on the application of modern subject/object and wild/domestic dualisms. I observe some nuances that reconfigure these categories here, in the first case, given by the recognition of analogies between plant and human anatomy, as well as some sensitivity and sociability in trees. In the second, based on the non-taxative distinction of plants, practices, places and valuations associated the wild and domestic. In addition, I also analyse the relational framework in which trees are included in the studied case, which allows me to observe temporal and spatial orders as well as their affectation on materiality. In short, the work aims to problematize the relational scheme that linked humans and trees in agricultural practice during early modernity. The results are of comparative interest both for Spain and Western Europe and for other contexts associated with its colonial expansion.

A partir del análisis de un libro de agricultura escrito en el año 1617 en España, propongo discutir los conceptos utilizados por las ciencias antropológicas para comprender las vinculaciones de la gente con las plantas, en especial con los árboles, en la modernidad temprana. Por medio de un ejercicio comparativo reflexiono sobre la aplicación de los dualismos modernos sujeto/objeto y silvestre/doméstico. Observo algunos matices que reconfiguran aquí estas categorías, en el primer caso, dados por el reconocimiento de analogías entre la anatomía vegetal y humana, así como de cierta sensibilidad y sociabilidad en los árboles. En el segundo, basándose en la no taxativa distinción de las plantas, las prácticas, los ámbitos y las valoraciones asociadas a lo silvestre y lo doméstico. Además, analizo el entramado relacional en el que se incluyen los árboles en el caso estudiado, el cual permite observar órdenes temporales y espaciales, así como la afectación de estos sobre la materialidad. En suma, el trabajo apunta a problematizar el esquema relacional que vinculó a humanos y árboles en la práctica agrícola durante la modernidad temprana, los resultados obtenidos son de interés comparativo tanto para España y Europa occidental como para otros contextos asociados a su expansión colonial. Com base na análise de um livro sobre agricultura, escrito em 1617 na Espanha, proponho discutir os conceitos usados ​​pelas ciências antropológicas para entender as relações das pessoas com plantas, especialmente com árvores, na modernidade primitiva. Através de um exercício comparativo, reflito sobre a aplicação de dualismos modernos sujeito / objeto e selvagem / doméstico. Observo algumas nuances que reconfiguram essas categorias aqui, no primeiro caso, dadas pelo reconhecimento de analogias entre anatomia vegetal e humana, além de alguma sensibilidade e sociabilidade nas árvores. No segundo, com base na distinção não taxativa de plantas, práticas, locais e avaliações associadas ao selvagem e ao doméstico. Além disso, analiso também a estrutura relacional na qual as árvores são incluídas no caso estudado, o que me permite observar as ordens temporais e espaciais, bem como sua influência na materialidade. Em suma, o trabalho visa problematizar o esquema relacional que ligava seres humanos e árvores na prática agrícola durante o início da modernidade. Os resultados são de interesse comparativo para a Espanha e Europa Ocidental e para outros contextos associados à sua expansão colonial. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
