This volume is a collection of contributions to the international
and interdisciplinary Conferences 'Developments - Movements -
Valuations' from November 6th to 9th 2014 and 'ResourceCultures –
Theories, Methods, Perspectives' from November 16th to 19th 2015
at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen organised by the
collaborative research centre 'SFB 1070 ResourceCultures -
Sociocultural Dynamics in the Use of Resources'. It includes
comprehensive papers about theories, approaches and concepts for
the exploration of ResourceCultures, applying a diachronic and
interdisciplinary perspective according to the vision of the SFB.
International experts from a variety of different disciplines
present case studies, examining ResourceCultures from the very
beginning of human history until the present in a wide variety of
cultural contexts. Thus, they demonstrate the manifold facets of
'resources' as a category for scientific analysis.
