Comments
Energy is a term that is usually associated with the fields of knowledge of technology and business, but hardly with that of culture. Recently with the beginning of modernity, the dynamics of not only technical and economic, but also cultural and social development are developed in energetic concepts. This applies in a particularly striking way to regions whose economic systems are largely based on the extraction of specific raw materials, whose political and social (in) stability is closely linked to developments (or fluctuations) in the natural resources sector and whose cultural production is still based on usability as a symbolic resource.
The “Energy Empires East” project examines the energy superpower Russia from an interdisciplinary perspective as a representative case of such an energy dominance that affects society as a whole. In the dialogue between cultural studies and economics, we turn to key questions of the energy industry and interconnect them with the latest approaches in energy humanities as well as artistic (literary and filmic) processing of major projects in the socialist and Russian energy industry (e.g. GOELRO plan, Angara cascade, Chernobyl', North Stream 2).
