How has our relation to energy changed over time? What differences
do particular energy sources make to human values, politics, and
imagination? How have transitions from one energy source to
another-from wood to coal, or from oil to solar to whatever comes
next-transformed culture and society? What are the implications of
uneven access to energy in the past, present, and future? Which
concepts and theories clarify our relation to energy, and which
just get in the way? Fueling Culture offers a compendium of
keywords written by scholars and practitioners from around the
world and across the humanities and social sciences. These keywords
offer new ways of thinking about energy as both the source and the
limit of how we inhabit culture, with the aim of opening up new
ways of understanding the seemingly irresolvable contradictions of
dependence upon unsustainable energy forms. Fueling Culture brings
together writing that is risk-taking and interdisciplinary, drawing
on insights from literary and cultural studies, environmental
history and ecocriticism, political economy and political ecology,
postcolonial and globalization studies, and materialisms old and
new. Keywords in this volume include: Aboriginal, Accumulation,
