A little update - we weren’t really posting on X as it stood, but after Musk’s behaviour yesterday we will no longer be posting anything on that site (and will eventually delete our account) and will be primarily posting here (or Mastodon).

This quote from Hannah Arendt feels pertinent today.

Always glad to see the subject of "selling a nation" tackled by critical scholars (especially fellow historians) rather than practitioners from the publicity industry. Eager to discover this take on Spain by @ericstorm.bsky.social, Alejandro Quiroga et al.

Returning from leave to find my article 'An environmental escape from European integration' pre-published w @euroreviewhistory.bsky.social.

It's part of a special issue on the social history of European integration edited by Liesbeth van de Grift and Brigitte Leucht out later this year!

screenshot of the first page of the article, including the abstract.

An environmental escape from European integration: Scandinavian environmental activism and economic protectionism against disposable bottles, 1960s to 1988

ABSTRACT
As single-use packaging spotted shelves of modern supermarkets and ‘untouched’ nature in the 1960s, information campaigns and clean-up events popped up across Scandinavia to counter the accumulating littering. Whereas disposable beverage containers promised to tear down trade barriers and increase international market competition, critics of this development considered the disposable bottle the epitome of the growth premises of European integration. This article uses the disposable bottle as a lens through which to study how social actors in Scandinavia have engaged with and challenged European integration at the tension between environmental and economic interests. Focusing on the triangle of nature protection organizations, industrial interest organizations and politicians in Scandinavia, the article provides a social perspective on European integration at and from the region’s margins. Shedding light on the conflicting interests between international trade competition, market access and environmental protection, it demonstrates how social and political actors instrumentalized environmental arguments on disposable packaging for economic protection.

However you interpret it! Both examples would make excellent reviews - the main thing is that the author makes a comment on what the production can tell us about the past either as a primary source (Keaton) or a reimagining/ recreation (Monuments) - hope that makes sense?
