  • Planetary Timemaking : Paleoclimatology and the Temporalities of Environmental Knowledge, 1945-1990
  • 2023
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This thesis concerns the history of paleoclimatology in the postwar period. It follows the trajectory of two climate proxy records – ice cores and deep-sea cores – in the North Atlantic region, from their emergence as scientific objects in the 1940s to their incorporation into Earth System Science in the 1980s. In doing so, the thesis highlights how scientists have used these records to produce time and how this has affected the temporalities of the environment as a scientific and political concept. As anthropogenic impact on the planet arose as a political problem, the vast timescales of paleoclimatology became increasingly interwoven with climate modeling and environmental policy. Often, the records were understood as “natural archives”, providing unmediated access to past environmental conditions. This thesis shows how the times of ice- and deep-sea cores were, on the contrary, constantly re-shaped by scientific practices, institutional frameworks andcompeting temporal sensibilities in different scientific fields.With the rise of the Anthropocene concept in the last two decades, historians have begun to question the division between historical and natural times. Scientifically produced times, such as those made by ice- and deep-sea core drilling, have permeated discussions about the properties of historical time in the twenty-first century. Yet, the origins of thesetimes often remain out of view. This thesis argues that environmental historians and historians of science can contribute to these discussions by treating environmental times as objects of historical inquiry. Looking beyond planetary-scale models and following environmental times in situ, as they emerge, form and travel, can open up for more multi facettedapproaches to historical time in the proposed new geological epoch. The history of postwar paleoclimatology is therefore both a history of how scientists have produced environmental times and how planetary pasts enter the political present.

  • Media : The Case of Spain and New Spain
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Critical Inquiry. - Chicago : University of Chicago Press. - 0093-1896 .- 1539-7858. ; 48:4, s. 676-696
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article develops the new concept of environing media against the case of Mexico’s complex history over the past five centuries. To do this, it stakes out a theoretical development consisting in a shift in understanding from media as content-delivery systems to data processors, combining it with a processual understanding of environment as an ongoing and historical process of environing. In addition, the article discusses examples of indigenous media, an area that has so far received very little attention. The Aztec empire was as dependent on media forms as the Spanish colonizers who replaced it, and there are numerous cases of knowledges and practices surviving in hybrid forms, for example as part of maps. For much of its history, the field of media studies has been biased toward questions of (1) ideological or attitudinal influence caused by (2) modern or emergent technologies. This article goes in another direction by thinking about media as (1) environing and (2) residual. Media are agencies of civilizational and environmental order. The rise of digital media in recent decades has reinforced the fundamental logistical role of media as agencies that arrange, catalog, organize, network, and index people, places, and things. Our understanding of media as fundamental constituents of organization joins the recent interest in infrastructures. Calendars, clocks, towers, names, addresses, maps, registers, arms, and money are all infrastructural media. Such media become second nature, morphing biorhythms and altering ecosystems. Today’s planetary digital infrastructure builds upon the long legacy of resource management via databases. We argue for a longer genealogy of the nature shaping logistical role of media that is so evident today. In this article, we refine and exemplify these claims via a case study of some environing media in Mexico, a country with a deep and rich media history.

  • Anthropogenic Markers as Environing Media
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Anthropocene Curriculum. - Berlin : Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW).
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Media technologies have always been decisive for the epistemic registers and imaginations humans create and associate with nature. In his essay, media scholar Adam Wickberg outlines ​​how knowledge about the environment and media technologies ​have always ​evolve​d​ in tandem​; the history of anthropogenic markers can therefore be understood as a process of environing media. Getting us from the chemical composition of the atmosphere to pre-Columbian Amazonia to the rise of computational media in the late twentieth century, Wickberg chronicles and illustrates how anthropogenic markers are now a subset of a generically mediated planet.

  • Computation, data and AI in Anthropocene history
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: History & Technology. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0734-1512 .- 1477-2620. ; 39:3-4, s. 328-346
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This essay engages with recent scholarship on the epistemology of AI, data and automation, to assert how these practices are becoming increasingly central both to the projects of monitoring and of managing a global environment. We also review Jurgen Renn's recent contribution The Evolution of Knowledge (2020) in relation to the history of environmental data. Using Renn as point of departure, we stake out a way for understanding the Anthropocene through the interaction between data and environment, taking into account the deeper political implications of datafication. We conclude with discussions about how historians of technology and environment could play an important role in assessing the opportunities and risks of AI for global environmental justice before their full-scale implementation is a fait accompli. In face of the Anthropocene, there is a general need today for integrative efforts of bridging knowledge from natural, technical, social and humanistic domains, and therefore a strong imperative for humanistic studies to transposetools, methodologies, and insights into the realms of policymaking, and legislation. Thus, assessments of AI and environment must account for these historical processes in the present as well as offer critical analysis of the full ontological spectrum from object to epistemology via data and mediation.

  • Contingency and Causality : Post-digital Handwriting
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Media Theory. - 2557-826X. ; :1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article analyses specific acts of handwriting on paper in relation to digitization. It frames the artifact of the digital image of the handwritten note as a post-digital object, which is defined by the inseparability of analogue and digital and also highlights a relation to the digital in which internal opposition is a part of it. The article discusses the media function of post-digital contingency through two particular cases of handwriting on paper that circulates online. Firstly, it analyses post-digital handwriting in the political sphere using the example of the social media posting and sharing of Donald Trump’s signature after he took presidential office. Secondly, it elaborates post-digital handwriting as an aesthetic phenomenon by discussing the Instagram account of renowned Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist who has posted nearly 4,500 handwritten notes to 320,000 followers over eight years. Finally, it places these discussions into the context of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger to arrive at a better understanding of how the ontological difference of post-digital handwriting is produced.

  • Environing media and cultural techniques: : From the history of agriculture to AI-driven smart farming
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: International journal of cultural studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 1367-8779 .- 1460-356X. ; , s. 1-18
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article presents the new theoretical concept of environing media, which is developed to offer critical insight into how processes of mediation affect how we perceive of, manage and use the environment. Building on the insight that the environment has been in a continuous slow process of change that is now escalating due to human impacts, the article sketches a history of how environmental change and mediation are intertwined. Taking the history of agriculture as a case for the theoretical development, it shows how the current digitization of farming and implementation of AI systems in precision agriculture is the last of a long series in which environmental mediation come to play a crucial role in the forging of human–Earth relations. The article thereby shows the complex interplay between knowing and changing the environment as media technologies produce new epistemologies that in turn produce new interventions.

  • Pellucid Paper : Poetry and Bureaucratic Media in Early Modern Spain
  • 2018
  • Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Adam Wickberg's Pellucid Paper is an interdisciplinary study of the materiality of Early Modern poetry and its relation to political power, memory and subject constitution. The book explores the broad media history in which some of the most canonical Spanish Golden Age poetry was produced. It departs from the intersection of media theory, historiography and materiality of Early Modern culture in a radical rethinking of the nature of the relationship between the imaginary and the real using the concept of cultural techniques. Working with the operative sequences of the material and the symbolic of epistemological configurations of art, literature and power relations, it demonstrates how media and materiality were a crucial part of both the political and the aesthetic already in Early Modernity. It studies these operations in Early Modern Spain in the reign from Philip II to Philip IV. The development of a paper based bureaucracy as a means of sustaining large-scale power relations bridging distances in space and time forms the locus of the book. Pellucid Paper is informed by German Media theory and specifically the more recent developments of Cultural Techniques, which enables a fresh and imaginative take on Early Modern culture. The book offers a radical account of the dynamic relationship between the death oriented aesthetics of vanitas, techniques and media of storage and a form of mediated presence that permeates the inseparable spheres of the political and the aesthetic.

  • Reconfiguring Temporality in the Anthropocene : Coloniality and the Political Eco-Crisis
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Resilience: A Journal of the Environmental Humanities. - : University of Nebraska Press. - 2330-8117. ; 7:4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article deals with historiography and layers of time based on a decolonial understanding of modernity and its relationship to the Anthropocene. The point of departure for my critical discussion of history is the geological evidence for an Anthropocene golden spike proposed by Lewis & Maslin (2015) known as the ”Orbis hypothesis”, as well as the discourse on futurity built into current policy on climate change. One of the problems with the Paris climate agreement is that it relies to such a large extent (ca 80%) on future Negative Emission Technologies which bypasses demand on mitigation in the present. This move can be related to the incommensurability of mitigation with a neoliberal growth economy. The article aims at proposing a critical temporality for the Anthropocene, drawing on work by Aleida Assmann, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and Francois Hartog on the contemporary crisis of time as well as insights from environmental and media history. I argue that the emergence of global political expansionism and extractionist politics that emerged with the Spanish Empire in the latter part of the 16th century marked the beginning of an era which is still affecting policy and politics in relation to climate change. Particularly, I argue that the systematic use of media and information technology for extractionist purposes is integral to modernity as understood by Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway 2017, Walter Mignolo and Peter Sloterdijk 2015. At the same time, the established way of addressing climate change sustains coloniality and projects the cost of carbon intense living to the most vulnerable a century into the future, as the majority of models end with 2100. The insights of an Anthropocene Historiographychallenges traditional linear conceptions of time by highlighting how the current political eco-crisis is an effect of past political actions, just as current inability to properly address these issues will come into effect and cause damage in the future.

  • The mediated planet : Datafication and the environmental SDGs
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Environmental Science and Policy. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-9011 .- 1873-6416. ; 153, s. 103673-103673
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Over the past half century, the global environment has become subject to an accelerated pace of mediation and datafication. This ongoing transition has become so comprehensive that the knowledge, management and governance of the Earth system is dependent on enormous flows of data from a “vast machine” of measuring tools. These processes combined have formed what we call a “mediated planet,” subject to interpretation and shared human decision-making – that should ideally be democratic, inclusive and accountable. As environmental datafication continues to accelerate, private corporations are gaining increasing influence on and power over the associated collections of data. This is a cause for concern, as the global environmental commons are a public interest of concern to all people. This article argues for the need to critically research the challenges and risks associated with the rapid datafication of the environment, specifically in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for climate change (13), the ocean (14), biodiversity (15) and inclusive and accountable institutions (16). More knowledge is needed of how the SDGs and their supporting networks influence data-generation on a mediated planet, and how issues of access to and use of environmental data, as well as data ownership and AI implementation, can best be navigated. We contend that such knowledge can help enhance the democratic potential of the SDGs to build public trust and secure broad participation in global environmental governance in ways that also support peaceful and inclusive societies, as promised by SDG 16.

  • To Monitor Is to Manage – Or Not? : Which Data Do We Need to Reach the Environmental Sustainable Development Goals?
  • 2023
  • Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
    • Artificial intelligence (AI) impacts our journey in reaching the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in more ways than one. In the WASP-HS report “AI, sustainability and Agenda 2030”, the conclusions from the community reference meeting that took place on October 4, 2023, are presented. The contribution formulates and discusses the following challenges: First, that the desire to make environmental data politically actionable in immediate ways is understandable but requires carefully qualifying the aims. Data circulation accelerates various forms of data use, including commercial and for-profit use. Second, that data accommodates different stakeholder views and opposing interests. The same data sets can support diverging understandings of “sustainability”.

  • Where Humans and the Planetary Conflate—An Introduction to Environing Media
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Humanities. - Zürich : MDPI. - 2076-0787. ; 9:3
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In this essay, we provide an outline of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate the theoretical concept of environing media. We first discuss how humans have environed their surroundings long before the advent of scientific modernity and the rapid evolution of media technologies that helped in making the planet governable. Against this background, we argue that a fundamental shift in the human–Earth relation happened after 1500 and that this shift is attributable to the development of environing media employed in the process of terrestrial globalisation. We see the present profound renegotiation of the human–Earth relation as a continuity, albeit with a different intensity as exemplified by the work in Earth system science. Finally, we invert Mike Hulme’s call for scientists to meet the humanities into an appeal to humanists to embrace the environmental sciences and pursue more integrative research. Recent developments in environmental history have seen an increased interest in the shaping of environments by means of technology. To this end, scholars have developed theoretical concepts like “environing technologies”, which are based on the premise that the environment is a historical formation by people and societies who form their surroundings as well as their sense of place. In the same vein, historical ecology has shown that premodern peoples also shaped the natural world to their purposes far more than what has generally been understood. The central premise is that what is understood as the environment is the result of human intervention and that environing technologies structure the way that it is used, perceived, and understood. These insights resonate with core notions in media theory, but they have never before been brought together. Given that all of our understanding of the environment today is the product of several processes of mediation, the theory of environing technology would benefit from stronger theorisation of the role of media. While the scale and intensity of information storage, processing, and transmission by media today are unprecedented, the logic of mediated data processing essentially remains the same as five centuries ago when agents of the Spanish Empire took part in shaping the understanding of the environment of the Americas and the globe. For these purposes, we propose the concept of environing media, as a means of both joining intellectual forces and pushing theoretical analysis of both branches further. The paper outlines the theory of environing media using examples from the Global South, in particular the shaping and sensing of landscapes in and around the Philippines. From early modern to late modern times, this region of the world has been influenced by environing media, most importantly circumnavigating ships and orbiting sensing satellites. The result is landscapes made and remade according to colonial and later capitalist priorities operating on a global, and eventually a planetary, scale.

  • Cultural Techniques of Presence : Luis de Góngora and Early Modern Media
  • 2016
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This dissertation investigates the materiality of Early Modern Spanish poetry and particularly that of Luis de Góngora (1561-1627). Its purpose is to focus on physical and concrete aspects in order to create new knowledge of the past. In understanding the poetry of Góngora as a conceptual object resulting from the ontic operations of cultural techniques, it tries to show how these cultural phenomena were deeply embedded in various spheres held separate by modern institutions.The dissertation shows how the material existence of the poetry associated with the name “Góngora” was far from stable. This today canonic authorship was dispersed throughout a network and no accepted form of material storage of the ephemeral poetic discourse ever existed to his contemporaries. The poetry of Góngora and several other contemporary poets was never printed during their lifetime but existed materially in the various manuscripts produced by different actors. The years after the death of the poet saw the competing attempts to create the final storage of this important cultural memory, but over and over again the attempts were described as frustrated and unreliable. The project of printing the poetry of Góngora can be described as an attempt at stabilizing the unstable, storing the ephemeral in the durable, centralize the decentralized. The need for a “correct” edition reveals an emerging but not yet established notion of authorship that produces a conflict between practices and demands. Author portraits, biographies and euologic verses as well as the codex itself can be understood as attempts of stabilizing and constituting the human subject as a recognizable author of certain pieces of writing.The absence of authoritative and widely disseminated books has further implications for the poetry itself. The dispersed nature of the poetical manuscripts, which presupposed contact with the producer, was mirrored by the dispersed nature of the material and physical referents of the poems. The majority of them were created in a historically specific time and place, with a more or less clear purpose, often pointing with a deictic gesture towards material objects. This dissertation reconstructs and analyzes such material and physical settings by letting the poetry act as informant and juxtaposes it with other historical sources. In this way, it understands the poems not as conceptual objects emanating from the soul of a unified human subject, but as material traces of physical presence.A recurring tendency of this poetry was the employment of concepts and topoi to describe the material components of a given object. In this manner, they reveal a conception of portraits and monuments as objects of storage with the ability to produce effects of presence. Not only do the poetry describe such effects, but they often also direct the attention to how they are produced through a specific employment of materials and techniques. This reversal of the order of things is precisely what motivates the study of cultural techniques of presence in this dissertation.
