This edited book explicitly deals with the energy humanities,
summarising existing knowledge in the area and outlining possible
future directions for the nascent field. Assuming a variety of
disciplinary stances and using a plethora of methodologies to
address a number of pressing energy-related issues, the individual
contributions showcase the crucial importance of including the
humanities and social sciences into the current discussion on
energy. Furthermore, they illustrate one of the central claims of
the energy humanities, namely, that energy permeates all aspects of
our contemporary modes of existence, and is inextricably linked
with historical, political, social, ideological, and cultural
issues, relationships, and practices. Through numerous case
studies, Energy Humanities and Energy Transition looks to the past,
present, and future in search of examples of best practices and
possible models for pathways to a successful energy transition and
life 'after oil'. While much of existing research on energy
humanities has been criticised for its excessive focus on oil, this
book considers a wide range of energy resources, including nuclear
energy, renewables, and natural gas. Furthermore, it brings to the
forefront under-researched topics such as the colonial legacy
inscribed in energy infrastructure and the energy history of the
humanities. The contributions in this volume explore not only how
the perspectives and expertise of the humanities and social
sciences can alter the discourse on energy transition, and our way
of thinking about possible solutions and future scenarios, but also
how their new focus on energy affects the disciplines themselves.
Energy Humanities and Energy Transition presents a variety of
theories, methods, topics, and disciplinary angles, meaning it will
be of interest to a wide audience, from practitioners and policy
makers, to students and researchers working across the humanities
and social sciences. The thematically oriented structure, distinct
focus of each individual chapter, and the comprehensive
introduction and conclusion that contextualize the contributions
within the wider framework of energy transition, make this edited
book accessible to readers from many different fields and suitable
for various university programs.
