Going Deeper Underground: Social Cooperation in Early Twentieth-Century Cave Expeditions (2016)
Mattes examines speleological expeditions in caves as forms of social and interdisciplinary experiments. Combining geographical exploration with scientific observation and measurements, speleological expeditions are described as joint ventures, where different fields of science are integrated in one specific form of organization. As well as looking at the ways in which cooperation and organization of expeditions took place, the chapter also draws attention to the social and sexual diversity of participants who struggled for the exclusivity of the first look. The chapter concludes with a case study of two expeditions, undertaken by the Austrian Academy of Science and the Speleological Club of Vienna respectively, in the early 1920s.
