Abstract

MACEDO, Lurdes. On the “Garden of Delights” as a model of analysis of the intercultural communication processes. Comunicação e Sociedade [online]. 2017, vol.31, pp.225-238. ISSN 1645-2089.  https://doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.31(2017).2614.

The observation of Hieronymus Bosch's “Garden of Delights” triptych is the starting point for a short essay on the possible interpretation of this work by its last purchaser, Philip II of Spain. Additionally, this essay leads to the proposal of a model, based on three categories of analysis, for the critical interpretation of the global course that humanity has been taking since the beginning of the great intercontinental navigations, initially carried out by the Portuguese and the Spanish. The proposed model intends to contribute to the defragmentation of the memory of a long process marked by the tension between hegemonic forces and dynamics of interculturality.

Keywords : Defragmentation of memory; globalization; intercultural communication.
