Inheriting energy infrastructures: From deindustrialisation to decarbonisation
Around the world, sites associated with coal, oil and gas are being transformed into ‘renewable’ energy hubs or cultural ‘incubators’ for the so-called green transition. This article argues that repurposing and ‘heritagising’ such infrastructures without any deep understanding of the injustices and inequities of carbon modernity risks masking structural continuities between historic and ongoing systems of exploitation and environmental destructio…
Supply chain criticism: Seam, interval, hold
The emergence of the supply chain as a site of critical inquiry follows the tendency in humanities and social sciences to position key social and environmental conflicts in the logistical infrastructures where raw materials, commodities, and bulk energy supplies circulate at startling magnitudes. This article positions supply chains as important sources of differentiation internal to the logistical field, and considers the standardized moments of…
Geofetishism and the Tender Violence of Rare Earths
This article addresses the geospeculation of Kuannersuit, a mountain in southwest Greenland that holds a major deposit of rare earth minerals, including uranium. Through the concepts of "geofetishism" and "tender violence," we consider the history of mineral speculation in Greenland, and how its colonial history bears on the now independent (Inuit) Greenlandic government, and the township of Narsaq. With a focus on the anti-uranium activist group…
Introduction to “Field Theory”
Resource Radicalism and the Solar System of Black Empire
This article isolates an overlooked preoccupation in 1930s African American literature with America’s emergent energy system and a literary history of power indispensable to understanding today’s energy crisis as a social crisis. For George Schuyler, the physical power of a recently gridded America exposes the intractability of a racial politics from the inequalities accelerated in the nation’s new energy infrastructure. Schuyler’s Black Empire (…
Energyscapes, Architecture, and the Expanded Field of Postindustrial Philosophy
This essay isolates the relationships between energy deepening, economic elasticity, and social plasticity as the key matrix driving a petroeconomy otherwise imagined as free from material constraints, and claims that energy deepening establishes itself in spatial forms, or the physical setting, of a fully saturated fossil fuel society. By moving through exemplary instances of postindustrial landscape architecture and the philosophical tradition …
