New materialism, object-oriented ontology and fictive imaginaries
This paper takes up the challenge set down by the review work of Hess and Sovacool (2020) and Sovacool et al. \n(2020) and joins the conversation about future research agendas where STS is aligned towards humanities and \nsocial science research of energy solutions.
