Postdoc (f_m_x) Planetary Geopolitics and Geoengineering

Vor 5 Tagen


Potsdam, Deutschland Helmholtz Centre Potsdam Vollzeit
Reference Number 9279

How do “planetary” interventions reorder collective life? How do prevailing political structures and sensibilities shape technoscientific conceptions of the “planet,” and of what it means to “do something” about it? The “Planetary Geopolitics and Geoengineering” research group focuses on modes of knowledge and action that constitute a distinctively “planetary” geopolitics and analyzes the challenges they pose to familiar categories of modern reason: representation and intervention, necessity and contingency, action and inaction, certainty and indeterminacy. The group uses ethnographic and historical research methods and draws on work in science and technology studies, cultural anthropology, ordinary language philosophy, political economy, and political theory to characterize how forms of collective life are taking shape – and coming apart – with the ascent of the “planetary” in science, politics, and society. Embedded within the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, the group offers a unique working environment for researchers in the humanities and humanistic social sciences interested in the political study of contemporary science and technology.
