Das Betonzeitalter: Zum Aufstieg des am meisten genutzten menschengemachten Materials
Teilprojekt des vom BMBF geförderten Forschungsprojektes an der Friedrich-Schiller Universität Jena "Mentalitäten im Fluss. Vorstellungswelten in modernen bio-kreislaufbasierten Gesellschaften (flumen)"
Das Projekt analysiert die sozial-ökologische Transformation von fossilen hin zu biobasierten, postfossilen Gesellschaften mit einem Fokus auf die Beziehungen zwischen der sich verändernden Energie- und Ressourcenbasis und gesellschaftlichen Mentalitäten, Praktiken und Wahrnehmungen. Das historische Modul konzeptualisiert "fossile Mentalitäten" als zentrales Hindernis für jede Nachhaltigkeitstransformation. Im Vordergrund steht eine empirische Studie, die den Aufstieg von Beton und Zement analysiert und dabei Materialflussrechnung, commodity frontiers und Umwelt-, Wirtschafts- und Mentalitätsgeschichte kombiniert sowie Herausforderungen für eine sozial-ökologische Transformation auf der Grundlage von Suffizienz skizziert.
