On Petrocultures brings together key essays by Imre Szeman, a
leading scholar in the field of energy humanities and a critical
voice in debates about globalization and neoliberalism. Szeman's
most important and influential essays, in dialog with exciting new
pieces written for the book, investigate ever-evolving circuits of
power in the contemporary world, as manifested in struggles over
space and belonging, redefinitions of work and individual autonomy,
and the deep links between energy use and climate change. These
essays explore life lived in the twenty-first century by examining
critically the vocabulary through which capitalism makes sense of
itself, focusing on concepts like the nation, globalization,
neoliberalism, creativity, and entrepreneurship. At the heart of
the volume is the concept of "petrocultures," which demands that we
understand a fundamental fact of modern life: we are shaped by and
through fossil fuels. Szeman argues that we cannot take steps to
address global warming without fundamentally changing social,
cultural, and political norms and expectations developed in
conjunction with the energy riches of the past century. On
Petrocultures maps the significant challenge of our dependence on
fossil fuels and probes ways that we might begin to leave
petrocultures behind.
