Abstract
PANICO, Francesco. Mining and territory: theoretical approaches to the field of environmental history through a case study. Región y sociedad [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.73, 0002. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys.2018.73.a930.
This article aims to outline an epistemological framework for placing the field of environmental history in the context of the current endeavor of social sciences and humanities. The methodology used is defined here as “metabolic landmarks” because it is inspired by the approach of social metabolism. The results suggest that, in the study of environmental history, the specific historiographical object plays an essential role in defining the epistemic context of that hybrid field of historiography and, more generally, of social and environmental analyses.
Keywords : environmental history; historiography; social metabolism; mining; Mazapil.
