Abstract

This interview by Mark Tirpak with Gareth Doherty of Harvard University Graduate School of Design, focuses on his Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State (University of California Press, 2017). With Paradoxes of Green (2017) and via the interview, Doherty recounts some of the findings of his ethnographic fieldwork in the Kingdom of Bahrain and describes tensions arising from differing conceptions of what ‘green’ means or signifies within this growing and predominantly arid region. An argument that Doherty makes in Paradoxes of Green (2017) is that color and form are interlinked, and that color deserves deeper consideration by policy-makers and other formal shapers of cities. The interview draws from Paradoxes of Green (2017) to discuss some of Doherty’s findings as well as his latest work on the intersections between landscape architecture and anthropology.

透过色彩的镜头:采访《绿色的悖论:一个城邦的风景》一书的作者加雷思·多尔蒂

这是Mark Tirpak对哈佛大学设计研究生院的Gareth Doherty的采访，重点关注他的《绿色的悖论:城市国家的景观》(加州大学出版社，2017)。在《绿色的悖论》(2017)一书中，通过采访，Doherty讲述了他在巴林王国进行的民族志田野调查的一些发现，并描述了在这个日益增长的干旱地区，对“绿色”的含义或意义的不同概念所产生的紧张关系。多尔蒂在《绿色的悖论》(2017)中提出的一个论点是，颜色和形式是相互联系的，颜色值得政策制定者和其他城市的正式塑造者进行更深入的考虑。本次采访摘自《绿色的悖论》(2017)，讨论了Doherty的一些发现，以及他关于景观建筑与人类学交叉的最新作品。

期刊介绍： PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies is a fully peer reviewed journal with two main issues per year, and is published by UTSePress. In some years there may be additional special focus issues. The journal is dedicated to publishing scholarship by practitioners of—and dissenters from—international, regional, area, migration, and ethnic studies. Portal also provides a space for cultural producers interested in the internationalization of cultures. Portal is conceived as a “multidisciplinary venture,” to use Michel Chaouli’s words. That is, Portal signifies “a place where researchers [and cultural producers] are exposed to different ways of posing questions and proffering answers, without creating out of their differing disciplinary languages a common theoretical or methodological pidgin” (2003, p. 57). Our hope is that scholars working in the humanities, social sciences, and potentially other disciplinary areas, will encounter in Portal scenarios about contemporary societies and cultures and their material and imaginative relation to processes of transnationalization, polyculturation, transmigration, globalization, and anti-globalization.
