Segnaliamo una posizione di Post-Doc in Storia e materie correlate nel contesto del progetto “The Battle of Materials: Commodity ‘Research and Propaganda’ and the Road to Immoderate Consumption, 1900-1980”, patrocinato dall’Institute for European Global Studies e dalla Swiss National Science Foundation.
The SNSF Consolidator Grant project examines the key processes, actors and cultural accommodations that drove unprecedented levels of natural resource consumption in industrial societies in the 20th century. Offering an innovative new material history of tropical and synthetic rubber and other industrial materials, the project explores the transformative practices that industrial research & development brought to the twentieth-century marketplace and the world economy as a whole. The team will address various aspects of resource overuse and the ways in which consumer expectations and material path dependencies have evolved as a key part of the “Great Acceleration” of human impacts on the global environment
