Workshop: Meaning, materiality and scale: massified energy resource production in the 20th century

*Please note: the workshop is now full and we cannot take more participants. *

This workshop will explore the causes and drivers of the Anthropocene by focusing on the issue of energy resource extraction, processing, and consumption, and the cultures it engendered or made possible to imagine in the 20th century. The workshop will gather scholars around the question of the role of energy resource production to critically investigate the causes of the Anthropocene by focusing attention on how and why certain forms of energy resources were developed in specific historical and political contexts.
