Historie

Overheating is a research project subtitled "An anthropological history of the early 21st century, or The three crises of globalisation". We explore the ways in which the major crises of globalisation -- economy/finance, environment/climate, culture/identity -- are perceived, related to and responded to in a variety of localities worldwide, from the sub-Arctic to tropical deserts. By comparing these localities, and by linking up with other kinds of research, we are developing an original and alternative perspective on globalisation, and to produce knowledge which can be used to make a difference. Overheating is funded by an ERC Advanced Grant.
