If mining and social and environmental responsibility seem incompatible in practice, how can we account for the rhetoric that promotes a “responsible mine”? What role(s) do technical and political discourses play in the adoption and justification of resource exploitation and production strategies? What influence do companies and experts have on these debates? Through a historical or longitudinal perspective, this issue of Entreprises et Histoire explores the intersections and interplay of actors between CSR and social changes that may or may not underpin the rhetoric of a return to mining and a convergence between the so-called “energy transition” and “ecological transition”.

The goal of this double session is to examine the Industrious Revolution from a variety of different source materials, methods, and perspectives. Do different approaches change our interpretation of what the Industrious Revolution was, and where and when it might have taken place? Papers should be able to discuss their own methods and sources in a larger context, but need not be multi-method or explicitly methods-oriented. A closing roundtable will give authors the chance to directly discuss and compare their different approaches.
