The emerging corpus of Environmental History is today redefining the perception of variegated construction of the realities of a world that are difficult to grasp with Western ecological imperialism.
From intangible landscape to research fields of odour, wisdoms and maritime biospheres neglected so far by extractivists and toxic ecosophies, a growing movement of subaltern indigenous inquiries is renewing the vision and appreciation of our ecosystems.
Just as Future is a fairly recent concept, Time or Air appears differently in the history of ideas depending on where we are. Testifying to recent collapsology theories and ontological crisis, this inquiry of Environmental History of Air intends to reflect on how profoundly the global understandings, appreciation and cares for certain fundamental components of the environment differ.
