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.
Deadline for abstract submissions (250 words, plus a
brief author CV): 16 May 2021
