Interdisciplinary Commodity Studies (ICS) is a cross-departmental teaching and research focus that was founded at JKU Linz in 2017 and is coordinated at the Department of Social and Economic History. Its leitmotif is to “tollow the commodities”. ICS comprise a bundle of approaches that explore time- and space-specific pathways of goods and services from production to distribution to consumption in the context of society and the environment. They are related to research on globalization and related regionalizations. ICS do not understand the commodity form of goods and services as given, but as created in the course of commodification; consequently, they also include non-commodity goods and services (e.g., unpaid labor).
