What kinds of expertise and knowledge relate to electricity, and
where is the space for alternative voices? How can the new roles
for electricity in social and cultural life be acknowledged? How
can we speak about 'it' in its own right while acknowledging that
electricity is not one thing? This book re-describes electricity
and its infrastructures using insights from anthropology and
science and technology studies, raising fascinating questions about
the contemporary world and its future. Through ethnographic studies
of bulbs, bicycles, dams, power grids and much more, the
contributors shed light on practices that are often overlooked,
showing how electricity is enacted in multiple ways. Electrifying
Anthropology moves beyond the idea of electricity as an immovable
force, and instead offers a set of potential trajectories for
thinking about electricity and its effects in contemporary society.
With new contributions on an emerging area of research, this timely
collection will be of value to students and scholars of
anthropology, science and technology studies, geography and
engineering.
