New Earth Histories brings the history of geosciences and the history of select world cosmologies together. We aim to produce a fresh and cosmopolitan history of environmental sciences, analysing the significance of geological time and multiple cosmologies for global modernity itself.

New Earth Histories: Geo Cosmologies and the the making of the modern world

A kaleidoscopic rethinking of how we come to know the earth.

This book brings the history of the geosciences and world cosmologies together, exploring many traditions, including Chinese, Pacific, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian conceptions of earth’s origin and makeup. Together the chapters ask: How have different ideas about the sacred, animate, and earthly changed modern environmental sciences? How have different world traditions understood human and geological origins? How does the inclusion of multiple cosmologies change the meaning of the Anthropocene and the global climate crisis? By carefully examining these questions, New Earth Histories sets an ambitious agenda for how we think about the earth.

The chapters consider debates about the age and structure of the earth, how humans and earth systems interact, and how empire has been conceived in multiple traditions. The methods the authors deploy are diverse—from cultural history and visual and material studies to ethnography, geography, and Indigenous studies—and the effect is to highlight how earth knowledge emerged from historically specific situations. New Earth Histories provides both a framework for studying science at a global scale and fascinating examples to educate as well as inspire future work. Essential reading for students and scholars of earth science history, environmental humanities, history of science and religion, and science and empire.

    Dr Katarzyna Jeżowska is a cultural historian with a particular interest in design from Eastern Europe. Her PhD (Oxford, 2019) examined the role of design, craft and architecture in imagining ‘modern Poland’ in the three post-war decades. Currently she is completing the manuscript of her first book, which examines the ways in which the socialist state utilised modern design and architecture in international diplomacy during the Cold War period. Her new project, Coal Nations and Carbon Cultures, considers the political potential of industrial exhibitions, placing coal at the forefront of historical enquiry. By examining the complex relationship between natural resources, industrial products and national identity, the project seeks to explain both Poland’s and Australia’s longstanding reliance on this increasingly problematic material resource.

    Historians on Planetary Futures – Seminar Series

    The future of the planet is an overwhelming problem, which stretches and confounds the limits of human conception. In our climate-changed present attempts to confront this topic have swelled with an understandable sense of urgency and a compelling ethical force. Inspired by this, Historians on Planetary Futures presents perspectives that explore the interrelated ecological, biopolitical, and existential challenges that face humans across multiple temporal and physical scales. The series will broach new histories of the planet and its future that explore the nature of spatial, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries, the connections between politics, humans, and earth processes, and the traditions, opportunities, and difficulties of thinking about the future. 

    The historians in this series bring a set of concerns and questions that broaden and deepen our collective conversations about possible futures of the planet Earth and the entanglement of such visions with the viability of human habitation. What pasts prefigure planetary futures? How have planetary futures been produced and reproduced by discrete projects of world-making? When and why do planetary futures revolve around the question of human population? Do planetary futures ever slip out of anthropocentric frames? How have world, earth, and planetary histories overlapped and how have they diverged?

    By asking questions like these historians might traverse the threshold between planetary pasts, presents, and futures, and strike a balance between the urgency of our times and what Donna Haraway calls the ‘sublime indifference’ induced by despair of what’s to come.

    The first seminar in this series took place on 27 July, with David Christian, ‘Should Historians Spend More Time Thinking about the Future? A link to this seminar and a full schedule of future events will be available shortly.

    Is Deep History White? - A lecture and roundtable

    Distinguished Visiting Professor Pratik Chakrabarti questions the epistemological premises of deep history and mounts an argument that it is complicit in the Western and colonial appropriation of global nature, time, myths and capital. This online lecture took place on 14 July. It was followed on 15 July by a roundtable featuring Prof. Chakrabarti, historians Prof. Lynette Russell (Monash), Prof. Ann McGrath (ANU), Dr Shino Konishi (UWA), Dr Ben Silverstein (ANU) and Dr Emily Kern (UNSW). Chaired by Prof. Alison Bashford, the panel discussed the whiteness of deep history, the characteristics of European naturalism, and the enchantment and disenchantment of the natural world.

  • Cultures of plate tectonics

    Zeynep Oğuz, Adam Bobbette

    The adoption of plate tectonics in the 1960s as scientific orthodoxy was one of the most profound scientific revolutions of the 20th century. It transformed the status quo understanding of the earth system, its history and evolution. By combining existing explanations of the earth into a new unity, the narrative created a novel, late 20th century imaginary that continues to shape our understanding of the earth.

    While the history of the science of plate tectonics is well enough documented, its cultural and political consequences are not. For such a profound change in understanding, scholars have not sufficiently traced its effects.

    How did plate tectonics change everyday life, political projects and imaginaries, in the late 20th century and into the 21st?

    Some of the questions we intend to address with this special issue are: How did plate tectonics create new forms of belonging and togetherness, theories of race and ethnicity? In what ways did it transform religion and myth? How does it shape ongoing political struggles over territory, indigenous rights and epistemologies? How did it speed up, expand or create new extractive machines, techniques and intersect with theories of sovereignty and environmental law?

    The approach of this is inspired by the geological turn of the past decade, which has called for a greater appreciation of the intersections between geological material, the geological sciences and modern culture. The Anthropocene has raised awareness of the intersections between geology and society, while concepts of 'geosocial formations' and ‘geopoetics' have sought in their own ways to theorise the intersections between geology and culture. The emerging enthusiasm for non-Western traditions of geological and cosmological knowledge have provincialised Western geology and from this has emerged a new attention to “new earth histories” that de-emphasise the exceptionalism of Western geological science. This special issue seeks to understand how plate tectonics was informed by non-Western cosmologies and how it, in turn, hybridised with world cosmologies.

    Send abstracts of 400-500 words to a.bobbette@unsw.edu.au. Our aim is to compile research essays for a special issue.

  • Earth scientists know a great deal about the geological history of Gondwanaland and its breakup that began 180 million years ago, eventually creating present day Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Asia and Antarctica. This project addresses the possibilities that emerge when we consider Gondwanaland’s national and continental fragments according to a series of modern environmental, cultural, political, colonial, and postcolonial histories. Aware of its now-proliferating trans-local meanings, we situate Gondwanaland, first, in the central Indian homeland of the adivasi Gond people, who lent the supercontinent its name in the late nineteenth century. From here the developing geopolitics of Gondwanaland are harder to anticipate. Gondwanaland’s modern history is strange and little understood, our idiosyncratic ‘transnational’ project seeking to open up its recent past, and in a way bring Gondwanaland back together again.

    Scoping its significance across both human and earth histories, the Gondwana/Land project brings together historians of Antarctica, Australia, southern Africa, South Asia and South America.

    This project launched in July 2021, and includes lead researchers Alison Bashford (CI, UNSW), Alessandro Antonello (CI, Flinders), Jarrod Hore (UNSW), Pratik Chakrabarti (Manchester), Gregory Cushman (Kansas), Saul Dubow (Cambridge).
