Conference "Recycling in the Cold War Era: Capitalist and Socialist Waste Regimes"
The two-day international workshop will bring together different perspectives on recycling in the Cold War era. It aims at a broader understanding of how capitalist and socialist recycling models were formed, developed, and interacted across historical contexts – including continuities, ruptures, and their impact on global and regional material flows. Our keynote speaker is Zsuzsa Gille with a talk on “Recycling in the Socialocene.”
