*Recent History of Technology, Mediterranean Studies, Environmental
Humanities: An Encounter
Part of the ‘Tensions of Europe Digital Workshop Festival’, 28 June-2
July 2021*
The workshop seeks to advance a fruitful conversation between recent
history of technology and environmental humanities (especially
environmental history) in reference to the Mediterranean, especially
focusing on its southeastern region. This conversation seems especially
important if we are to produce a proper contextualization of the way
issues of relevance to the environmental/ecological crisis, climate
change and sustainable development have been discussed and addressed
regarding this region. Contributions on all kinds of energy-related
technologies, from wind, solar and nuclear energy projects, to fossil
fuel exploration, extraction and transport are especially welcome. And
so are contributions on the full range of the history of the
technology-environment intersection, from local air pollution to air
dust arriving from a distance, and from recycling to garbage burning.
The workshop aims at capitalizing on research undertaken through
successfully completed (from NETWORKING EUROPE to HoNESt) and currently
running (e.g., EURES, GREASE) ToE-related projects, bringing ongoing
national research projects (e.g., the “Looking for Oil in the Greek
Territory, 1920-1980” project on oil extractivism) in direct contact to
this research and the ToE researchers responsible for it.
