Abstract

Energy spaces have always been contested. A series of bitter disputes between extractive companies, host governments and local communities in recent years have led to heavy losses for investors and threatened the development prospects of many resource-rich countries. The management of tensions and risks around resource extraction is more or less the modus operandi of the extractive industries, just as fierce opposition to them seems to be a modus vivendi for local communities and NGOs all over the globe. In this chapter, the author develops an understanding of the complex characteristics of contested energy spaces as scaled and assembled; being both bountiful emptiness and cultural spectacle.

Vorheriges Kapitel Introduction: Contested Energy Spaces

Nächstes Kapitel Reflections on the Research Process

Several other theoretical frameworks have similar objectives, such as Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network theory, different varieties of socio-technical system theory and hybridity literature. However, I find DeLanda’s reading of Deleuze and Guattari more attuned to the instability of relations: how seemingly powerful alliances are fragile and subject to change (for an extended discussion, see Haarstad & Wanvik, 2016). This has been important to my project of challenging established truths within resource governance in Alberta. At the same time, he is preoccupied with what he calls the “emergent capacities” of associations or what he terms encounters. This has been important to my introduction of pragmatism as an analytical concept to try to understand indigenous agency.
