environmental contexts during the iberian neanderthal extinction insight from the ecology of ungulate preys envinext

the middleupper paleolithic mpup transition is a key period for human evolution as it corresponds to late neanderthals disappearance and their replacement by anatomically modern humans amh after both species briefly cooccurred this multifactorial event happened at different spatial and temporal scales across europe climate constitutes a strong driver of species evolution for neanderthal there is no consensus regarding the impact of climate on its disappearance although it happened during the marine isotopic stage 3 characterized by abrupt and rapid climatic oscillations in order to track climate changes at the time of the neanderthal demise and the evolutionary success of amh ecological proxies filling the gap between local environmental conditions and global climate changes are mandatory herbivore teeth are robust traps for physiological ecological and climatic information and thus mirror past environments envinext implements three complementary ecological proxies on ungulates preyed by both human species from 10 archeological sites covering the mpup transition in north iberia combined dental microwear texture enamel carbon and oxygen stable isotope and molar mesowear analyses provide ecological information at three temporal scales for a global overview of the paleoecology and paleoenvironment of preys and humans envinext has four objectives i exploring the ecology of ungulates key preys for human populations before during and after the mpup transition ii drawing paleoenvironmental inferences at the scale of the territories exploited by neanderthals and amh iii thus linking global climate changes with local environmental changes and asynchronous disappearances of neanderthals through north iberia during the mpup transition finally iv to confront these results for northern iberia a refuge area with what is obtained in southwestern france berliozs current postdoctoral work
transnational book diplomacy beyond the cultural cold war towards a sociocultural history of the tamizdat

the transnational production circulation and reception of soviet and east european literature in the west during the cold war challenges the dominant twobloc narrative and tells us a different story about the crossborder flow of knowledge and ideas focusing on the intense cultural exchanges of the time across and beyond the nylon curtain an ideological and geopolitical border extremely permeable to cultural objects this research project aims to challenge 1 the traditional representation of western and eastern cultures as divided into two isolated blocs and 2 the representation of tamizdat as a mere ideological weapon of the cultural cold war the term tamizdat published abroad refers to soviet and eastern european texts unpublished in the eastern bloc and clandestinely smuggled and published in the west as an alternative transnational publishing practice with a specific sociocultural value tamizdat highlights cooperation across apparent ideological division and crossborder interaction instead of hostility mikkonen scottsmith et al 2019 the emphasis on smaller national and transnational actors instead of governments ibidem demonstrates the crucial role of book diplomacy in preventing the cultural isolation of the two blocs following o sanchezsibony who questiones from a socioeconomic perspective the representation of the cold war as a bipolar contest between superpowers 2014 i will address the sociocultural dimension of this narrative treating tamizdat as the result of socially and culturally regulated activities i will consider the agency of social activists of social movements dissidents soviet and east european migrs diplomats etc and cultural actors writers editors translators literary agents critics journalists etc who contributed to its transnational production circulation and reception in order to outline a comparative sociocultural history of the cold war

ecologies of violence crimes against nature in the contemporary cultural imagination

the ongoing destruction of the natural world raises critical questions about responsibility how do we remember the victims both human and nonhuman and who is to blame contemporary culture plays a crucial role in addressing these questions largescale processes like ecocide and extinction pose significant conceptual and representational challenges this project posits that writers artists and filmmakers are responding to these challenges by adapting existing repertoires especially ones that emerged in response to the holocaust slavery and other atrocities in so doing they reveal the historical structural and discursive links between crimes against humanity and crimes against nature ecoviolence will be the first comprehensive transnational comparative study of the cultural imaginary of environmental violence bringing together recent work in cultural memory studies and ecocriticism we will develop an innovative ecological model for the study of violence and its representation we will document how texts films art works plays and exhibitions represent ecoviolence map how they link it to colonialism and genocide and analyse how they reflect on questions of guilt and responsibility as well as cultures own implication in the violence it depicts furthermore we will explore how these representations harness affect and emotion to help people relate to the environmental crisis and promote critical selfreflectionecoviolence will effect a major reorientation in cultural memory research and ecocriticism by providing a framework to think about violence and memory in morethanhuman terms the project will result in a best practices guide to engage cultural representations in pedagogy to enhance critical literacies about ecoviolence and move beyond simplistic stories where everyone is either a victim or a perpetrator that have stifled full responses to our collective ecocidal trajectories
harnessing the vast potential of res for sustainable farming

competitive conflicts for land use between the energy and food sectors have appeared which could be mitigated by the vertical integration of res in farms through new circular business models by this approach farms will become climate neutral optimising their production and reducing their impact on natural resources and biodiversity on top of providing energy services to communities and diversifying their economic income however there is a need to identify understand and overcome major existing barriers perceived by agricultural communities moreover current initiatives do not to effectively consider and address the complex interactions and factors from the farming and res context thus missing to support decision making based on accurate projections estimations and forecasts harvrest will work on these needs by improving the existing knowledge and its fragmented status which will be feed to an agricultural virtual power plant able to run different scenarios and farm configurations to determine the best operation procedures for a given res solution this data will be then provided to a decision support system able to weight tradeoffs and key indicators to provide adhoc recommendations to farmers and policy makers thus enabling the consecution of improved production rates on renewable energy food feed within agro communities for the successful execution of harvrest and implementation of recommendations a multiactor approach fostering cocreation sessions together with the provision of training materials for farmers empowerment will be implemented the full approach of harvrest will be supported and executed at 4 use cases representing different topologies of farms a diversity of stakeholders and organizational structures distinct geographical conditions and a wide variety of res technologies together with harvrest community and mapped initiatives the project will act as a hub for knowledge and bestpractices on res integration at farm level

decentering eighteenthcentury political economy rethinking growth wealth and welfare in the swedish empire

the project reassesses the early history of european political economy historians of political economy have traditionally concentrated on the genesis of modern economics tracing the emergence of economic models methods and ideas that are today recognized as economics through classical political economy neoclassicism and on to the presentthis new departure treats political economy as a discourse oriented to the improvement of conditions for human life and as such one of the enlightenments key contributions to western thought however any direct association of enlightenment discourse with political economy requires qualification therefore this project explores a very extensive contemporary literature about growth wealth and welfare that has not fitted easily into the conventional retrospective history instead of converting past arguments into modern arguments about methods and models the project investigates eighteenthcentury political economy in terms of practical concerns as measures and policies for betterment and improvement only in this way we can reconstruct what political economy meant to its contemporaries in the early modern period the swedish empire considered by contemporaries as the stronghold of oeconomia functions as the primary case study but is constantly compared with other cases broadening the applicability of the findings the aim of the project is to study the ways in which the key concepts of improvement wealth growth and welfare were articulated in the main sites of discursive production the university the diet local and colonial governments and academic journals the study of the five institutions is based on the hypothesis that in each of them activities were directed towards improving the organisation of state and society and the living conditions of the people this project represents a wellfounded reassessment of the rise to predominance of economic argument during the eighteenth century
