 tory of Natural Resources_ (Polity Press)\, Alexander Etkind will talk abo
 ut non-human agency of sugar\, fur\, hemp\, oil and other natural resource
 s in their relations with the changing character of the state. In their in

  different social institutions. Revising the contemporary perspectives on 
 the classical problem of evil\, this bottom-up narrative constitutes the n
 ew subdiscipline that Etkind calls Cultural History of Natural Resources.
