Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

The first to focus on the (re-)presentations of oil in dramatic literature theatre and performance Oil and Modern World Dramas is a pioneering volume in the emerging field of Oil Literatures and Cultures and the more established field of World Literatures. Through close analysis Fakhrkonandeh demonstrates how these dramatic works depict oil both in its perceived nature and character as an overdetermined matter/sign/object: a symbol (of freedom autonomy speed wealth modernity enlightenment) a commodity a social-cultural agent a social relation and a hyper-object. This book is also distinguished by its innovative and critically manifold conceptual framework positing the petro-literatures and petro-cultures an inextricable part of a global network. Oil and Modern World Dramas not only demonstrates how the chosen works of petro-drama manifest these concepts in their social-political vision aesthetics and historical-ontological dynamics but also reveals how they deploy such assemblage-based approaches both as a cartographical means and aesthetic method for exposing the systemic (Capitalocenic) nature of petro-capitalist exploitation and as means of proposing ways of resistance and producing alternative modes of subjectivity community relationality and economy. | Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress
