In contrast to the public understanding of ‘resources’ as natural raw-materials - mainly based on economic perceptions – there are differentiated views and assumptions from varying perspectives in different scientific disciplines. This leads to divers, unequal definitions, concepts and theories, investigated by specific databases, methods and approaches according to the particular discipline. Correspondingly, it is a challenge within interdisciplinary networks like the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1070
‘ResourceCultures’ to bring together those different views, strategies and their potential to investigate resources under a common concept.
The Conference will focus on the approaches, perspectives and limits of interdisciplinary cooperation based on analysing resources as a basis for social relations, units and identities within the framework of culturally affected beliefs and practices, or as a means to create, sustain and change them.
In which ways can cultural beliefs and social practices be identified as significant factors to turn something into a resource? How to estimate the informational value for variability, efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources connected to socio-cultural, ecological and economic effects? Which kinds of strategies in the use of resources can be identified in different cultures or societies with a diachronic and global perspective? How can specific ResourceComplexes, socio-cultural dynamics and ‘ResourceCultures’ be identified and characterised?
