Descripción del proyecto
"The project ""Between London, Cyprus, and Palestine: Waste History in the British Eastern Mediterranean"" (BLOCYP) aims to uncover the origins of waste treatment policies in the region. It is the first comprehensive waste history study in the modern Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Cyprus and Palestine as case studies. It examines sanitary challenges faced by Mediterranean cities under British rule during their rapid urbanization between the 1920s and 1940s. The project investigates five major cities: Nicosia and Famagusta (Colonial Cyprus), Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa (British Mandate of Palestine), allowing for various comparisons between countries, capital cities, and port cities. BLOCYP tackles three key issues: British sanitary policy regarding urban waste treatment, adaptation of sanitary solutions to local conditions and needs, and the role of British networks in spreading sanitary ideology and knowledge. The research will facilitate a deeper understanding of British colonial sanitary perceptions and their local applications. Thus, it is a valuable case study for territories worldwide that underwent British rule. Additionally, it illuminates how global events such as wars and economic crises have influenced local waste treatment practices. The project will utilize archival materials from Nicosia, Jerusalem, and London. BLOCYP will contribute to three historical branches: environmental history, political history, and history of expert networks. It will shed light on the roots of modern waste pollution, examine if the type of territory – permanent colony or temporary mandate – influenced British sanitation policy, and explore the migration of sanitary knowledge between Europe and the Mediterranean. Just as our approach toward waste reflects our way of living and values, it was the same a century ago. Therefore, a key objective of this project is to raise public awareness of the need for improving environmental citizenship by learning from the past."
