Energy Culture is a provocative book about oil’s firm grip on our
politics and everyday lives. It brings together essays and artwork
produced in a collaborative environment to stimulate new ways of
thinking and to achieve a more just and sustainable world.The
original work collected in Energy Culture creatively engages energy
as a social form through lively arguments and artistic research
organized around three vectors of inquiry. The first maps how
fossil fuels became, and continue to be, embedded in North American
society, from the ideology of tar sands reclamation projects to
dreams of fiber optic cables running through the Northwest Passage.
The second comprises creative and artistic responses to the
dominance of fossil fuels in everyday life and to the challenge of
realizing new energy cultures. The final section addresses the
conceptual and political challenges posed by energy transition and
calls into question established views on energy. Its contributions
caution against solar capitalism, explore the politics of sabotage,
and imagine an energy efficient transportation system called “the
switch.” Imbued with a sense of urgency and hope, Energy Culture
exposes the deep imbrications of energy and culture while pointing
provocatively to ways of thinking and living otherwise.
