N2 - Historians of science and technology have already singled out how scholarship in these fields is particularly suitable to unpack the “narratives of historical change at the junction of science, technology, and the environment.” We further argue that the challenges of the Anthropocene require of us a deeper engagement with materiality, summoning historians and philosophers of science and technology to a wider debate in which the underpinnings and effects of crucial conceptual categories (nature, society, and technology, in the first place), and the subsequent disciplinary boundaries, are put into question.
