HS Technopolitics of Water Flows: Global Rivers and Local Activism in the Twentieth Century
Mi. 10-12 Uhr
Raum: H 3003A, Anmeldung über ISIS
Beginn: 16.10.2024
Humans have long engaged with watery landscapes—rivers, lakes, oceans, deltas, and arctic terrain. And yet, the politics, infrastructures, and technologies that mediate this access are often hidden from view. As water access, equity, and use become even more fraught issues in the climate crisis, this course provides a historical context to understanding the importance of water in contemporary debates about environmental justice and the efforts towards a more water-secure world for all.
We will examine rivers as movers of history—as sites of contestation and transformation around the globe—with a focus on how dams, reservoirs, and other technological interventions have shaped human power over communities and regions throughout the twentieth century. By doing so, this course explores the complex and shifting notions of water use and management, the role and influence of sociotechnical practices on river development, and the histories of resistances to longstanding environmental injustices.
