The Ecological Body in a Toxic World. Environment and Health in the Soviet Union and Its Successor States, 1945–2000

鉴于塑造苏联和后苏联时代的独特情况，德国-法国团队有三个研究目标，例如艰难的福利国家、高水平的污染、四分五裂的政治秩序和社会经济混乱：1.调查政治决定和经济进程如何造成人与自然之间的有毒关系，从而造成“不可避免的生态环境”(政治和社会历史)；2.研究个人和集体行为者如何经历接触毒素和疾病，以及他们如何将其沮丧转化为社会行动(经验史)；3.确定苏联及其继承国在研究领域环境中的历史地位，并考虑“东区故事”如何通过为西方社会(比较和跨国历史)创建的分析网格进入过程、现象和问题。合作项目侧重于三个分研究，这三个分研究合并为两个项目领域，广泛涵盖(后)苏联地区和俄罗斯、乌克兰和哈萨克斯坦。项目区A：环境和人体的化学化--研究1：农用化学品的健康后果--研究2：人体和癌症治疗的化学化项目区B：污染的空气、危及健康和社会抗议--研究3a：布拉茨克：东西伯利亚规划的巨人和工业污染者--研究3b：科技大学--Kamenogorsk/Oskeman：东哈萨克斯坦的阿勒泰军工厂四个项目参与者得到三个德法专家小组的支持。他们的十名成员将为合作项目贡献关于人体、健康系统和环境污染历史的方法论和主题知识。三个研究目标将通过探索实现：1.通过农化、能源和工业-军事综合体的兴起创造“不可避免的生态”；2.环境毒素和物理反应之间因果关系的社会问题化；3.环境问题对卫生系统改革的重要性；4.有争议的谈判和有问题的阈值和规则的实施；5.发展替代救赎理论和新的身体话语和实践。合作项目结合单独处理的方法，以实现连贯的研究设计。这包括知识史、性别和身体历史的方法以及“生物公民”和“环境正义”的概念。组织的目标是扩大在第一个资助阶段建立的欧洲研究网络。研究能力的汇集将促进法德在东欧历史领域的合作。

The German-French team has three research objectives in view of the unique circumstances shaping the Soviet and post-Soviet eras, such as a struggling welfare state, high levels of contamination, a disintegrating political order and socio-economic disruptions:1. investigate how political decisions and economic processes created toxic relationships between humans and nature and hence “inescapable ecologies” (political and social history);2. examine how individual and collective actors experienced exposure to toxins and sickness and how they turned their dismay into social action (history of experience); and3. determine the historical place of the Soviet Union and its successor states within the research field envirohealth and consider how an “East Side Story” gives access to processes, phenomena and problems that fall through the analytical grid created for Western societies (comparative and transnational history)The cooperation project focuses on three sub-studies, which are combined into two project areas and broadly cover the (post)Soviet region with Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Project area A: The Chemicalisation of the Environment and the Human Body - Study 1: The Health Consequences of Agrochemicals - Study 2: The Chemicalisation of the Body and Cancer Treatment Project area B: Polluted Air, Endangered Health and Social Protest- Study 3a: Bratsk: Planned Giants and Industrial Polluters in Eastern Siberia - Study 3b: Ust‘-Kamenogorsk/Oskemen: The Altay Military Factory in East Kazakhstan The four project participants are supported by three German-French expert teams. Their ten members will contribute methodological and thematic knowledge on the history of the body, health systems and environmental pollution to the cooperation project.The three research objectives will be achieved by exploring:1. the creation of "inescapable ecologies" through the rise of agrochemical, energy and industrial-military complexes;2. the social problematization of the causality between environmental toxins and physical reactions;3. the importance of environmental problems for health system reforms;4. the controversial negotiation and problematic implementation of threshold values and regulations; 5. the development of alternative doctrines of salvation and new body discourses and practices.The cooperation project combines separately handled approaches to a coherent research design. This includes approaches to the history of knowledge, gender and body history as well as the concepts of "biological citizenship" and "environmental justice".The organisational objective is to expand the European research network established during the first funding phase. The pooling of research competencies will promote Franco-German cooperation in the field of Eastern European history.
