Content warning: Contains 🌋 volcanic eruptions, ⛏️ mining, 🏞️ landscapes, ☠️ extraction
ODSECS 34: Stephanie O'Rourke
Upside Down: Mining the Late Eighteenth-Century Landscape This paper moves across the visual culture of mining infrastructure and volcanic eruptions to explore the emergence of a newly “extractive” way of picturing landscape in late eighteenth-century Europe. Moving across examples from Germany, France, and Britain, I explore how these images encoded emerging ideas about waste, natural resources, verticality, and circulation that would become core to the protocols of extractive capitalism. Stephanie O’Rourke is a historian of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century visual culture in Europe and its colonial networks, particularly in relation to scientific knowledge, environmental history, and media technologies. She is a Senior Lecturer in art history at the University of St Andrews
