Montserrat Gispert Cruells: “L’etnobotànica és la disciplina que afirma que les plantes són cultura”
Keywords:
ethnobotany, traditional plant knowledge, Mexico, plant history, plant métissageAbstract
Montserrat Gispert Cruells, professor of Ethnobotany at the Faculty of Sciences of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), has been in Barcelona as part of a sabbatical and I have talked with her – I transcribe here the main ideas arising from our conversation. We address the concept of Ethnobotany as a science and also the different approaches of ethnobotanical studies, both in Mexico and in other territories. We insist on the plants that travelled from Mexico to here (to Catalonia, to Europe in general), as well as on the plants that were introduced from here to Mexico along the many years of uninterrupted transcontinental trade.Downloads
