Germany's oil fields: A material history of the crop plant rapeseed (1897-2017) by Sarah Waltenberger
Research into the history of materials and substances has not only experienced an enormous upswing in the last two decades, but has also made quite considerable methodological progress.The reflective and productive methodology of Sara Waltenberger's dissertation, "Germany's Oil Fields," demonstrates this.The study focuses on the history of the crop plant rapeseed and the substances derived from it, in particular rapeseed oil and feed cakes, for a…
Environmental humanities: Objectives and potentials: An introduction to the focus
Environmental humanities: An Emerging Field of Transdisciplinary Research
Humanity is facing a global crisis that has been brought about by the domestication, exploitation and degradation of the natural environment. This crisis is closely interconnected with social structures and processes, and with cultural representations ‐ thus with history and politics, too. Therefore, historically, politically, aesthetically, and ethically reflective approaches that require the expertise of the humanities and social sciences are e…
Umwelt und Gesundheit im Kontext der Sustainable Development Goals
Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsprobleme sind oft eng mit Gesundheitsfragen verknüpft. Die Skizze benennt einige davon und weist auf Forschungslücken und Themen hin, die aus humanökologischer Sicht wichtig erscheinen
Terra preta de índio: Commodification and Mythification of the Amazonian Dark Earths
Terra preta is a “hot” topic in the environmental sciences. From an anthropogenic soil type of local relevance, terra preta has been transformed by soil scientists into a techno-scientific object that helps to escape the global ecological crisis. The commodification goes along with a mythification that does not spare the scientific sphere.This paper contributes to the history of terra preta research. It traces not only the history of science of A…
Effects of Goal Framing and Emotions on Perceived Threat and Willingness to Sacrifice for Climate Change
This study explores discrete emotions (guilt, fear, hope) as mediators for effects of goal framing on perceived threat of climate change and willingness to sacrifice. To reconcile conflicting evidence, the study introduces and tests the distinction between gain-positive frames (positive consequences of engaging in climate protection), gain-negative frames (avoiding negative consequences when engaging in climate protection), and loss frames (negat…
Nachhaltigkeit als Nießbrauch: Das römische Rechtsinstitut des usus fructus und seine systematische Bedeutung für das Konzept der nachhaltigen Nutzung
Unter Nießbrauch verstanden die Römer eine Nutzung, die Sorge trägt, dass die Substanz der Sache erhalten bleibt. Von diesem Konzept aus ergibt sich eine neue Möglichkeit, Nachhaltigkeit zu verstehen. Dabei kommt es darauf an, dass die Substanz nicht nur ökonomisch, sondern auch ökologisch definiert wird.This paper argues that the concept of sustainability has a parallel in the Roman concept of usus fructus (usufruct), meaning to use, enjoy and b…
The Structure of Climate Skeptical Arguments. Conspiracy Theory as a Critique of Science Die Struktur klimaskeptischer Argumente. Verschwörungstheorie als Wissenschaftskritik
Questioning and rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change causes, climate skeptics argue that climate science is involved in a global conspiracy, guided by self-interest and aspirations of societal change. On the basis of 97 climate skeptical non-fiction books, this article reconstructs the logical structure of climate skeptical (or denialist) arguments, with a special focus on the construction of the causes for climate change. The ana…
Hot Air: The Science and Politics of CO 2
CO 2 is not a simple, immediately graspable substance like water, salt, or mercury. It has to be conceptually and instrumentally constructed since, as an air-like GE 241 substance, CO 2 is almost invisible, almost odorless and quickly diffuses into the surrounding air; and it is only through special instrumental apparatus (such as a pneumatic trough) or in hermetically sealed locations that it can be(come) sufficiently concentrated for it to be r…
Vom wheat problem zur neuen Stickstofffrage
eaktiver Stickstoff ist der Motor allen biologischen Wachstums.Er ist für alle Proteine, damit auch für alle Enzyme und für die DNA unentbehrlich.Sehr oft ist es die Menge an verfügbarem Stickstoff, die die pflanzliche Produktion limitiert.Das 20.Jahrhundert ist ein Wendepunkt in der Geschichte des Stickstoffs, weil es den bislang größten Eingriff des Menschen in einen natürlichen Stoffkreislauf mit sich gebracht hat.Ein Problem und ein Versprech…

Acknowledging Substances: Looking at the Hidden Side of the Material World
Scientific Nonknowledge and Its Political Dynamics: The Cases of Agri-Biotechnology and Mobile Phoning
While in the beginning of the environmental debate, conflicts over environmental and technological issues had primarily been understood in terms of ''risk'', over the past two decades the relevance of ignorance, or nonknowledge, was emphasized. Referring to this shift of attention to nonknowledge the article presents two main findings: first, that in debates on what is not known and how to appraise it different and partly conflicting epistemic cu…
CO2, Lebenselixier und Klimakiller
Entscheidungen unter Bedingungen pluraler Nichtwissenskulturen
Die Politisierung des Konsums
Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) läutete in den 1950er Jahren die massenhafte Ankunft von Plastik in Westdeutsch land ein – und gilt als Sinnbild dafür, dass sich die Nachkriegsgesellschaft in hohem Maß auf technische Innovation verließ, um soziale Ordnung zu etablieren. Ab den 1960er Jahren wurde diese Ordnung erschüt tert: PVC geriet wiederholt als gesundheits- und umweltschädlich in die Kritik
Scientific Cultures of Non-Knowledge in the Controversy over Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO): The Cases of Molecular Biology and Ecology
The limits of scientific knowledge are an emerging problem in the debates about technological risk. In an exemplary analysis of the controversy surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMO), we show that the epistemic settings of two involved scientific disciplines – molecular biology and ecology – entail different types of non-knowledge and deal with non-knowledge differently. Both of these "scientific cultures of non-knowledge" are analysed …

Der Bau: Betrachtungen zu einer Metapher der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie
Luhmann verwendet als Emblem seiner Theorie oft das Bild vom labyrinthischen B au. In diesem Aufsatz sollen einige Expeditionen in die Bilderwelt unternommen werden, auf die wir durch diese Metapher verwiesen werden. Als Anregung dienen dabei die Geschichten „Der Bau“ und „Von den Gleichnissen“ von Franz Kafka. Ziel ist es, die oft übersehene oder für unwichtig erklärte Hintergrundmetaphorik der Systemtheorie herauszupräparieren und zu zeigen, da…
