SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gilded Towns in a Dead Land: Water\, Warfare\, and the Natural World on Kalymnos
DESCRIPTION:In the dry eastern Aegean\, control of water often corresponds with control of entire economies and\npopulations. Across millennia\, imperial powers have leveraged such control to their advantage\, often\ndramatically transforming landscapes and social relations as a result. On Kalymnos\, fieldwork\ncontinues to find indications of these processes in action. This deforested\, dry island has been\nsubject to many empires\, and\, it appears\, many episodes of ecological devastation. I suggest that\nEarly Medieval Kalymnos can be understood as a ‘post-apocalyptic’ landscape\, in which new\nresources\, new landscapes\, and new social organizations were shaped from a dry and dying earth.
