Commodity histories have proven to be particularly productive to develop fresh perspectives on the global history of capitalism. While scholars in this field have repeatedly reflected on their subject’s envi ronmental dimension\, recent interdisciplinary discussions about the Anthr opocene raise the question whether new models need to be developed to avoi d replicating the “logic of frictionless production” (Dara Orenstein) inherent in dominant imaginaries of global capitalism. In this workshop\, we will probe whether the thinking of the anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt T sing\, the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Félix Guattar i could help historians in this endeavour.
