#PetroCulture
Petroculture and energy humanities scholars would be a good resource, too. I really need to stop referring to people as "resources"!

To be fair, the conclusion is not wrong. #PetroCulture.
looking through the books from 1930 that entered the public domain yesterday. Am enjoying this parodic essay that mocks moralists panicking about the promiscuity of the 1930s (from the volume "Whither, Whither, or After Sex, What?"). THE AUTOMOBILE MUST GO!

The new edited volume "Paisajes del subsuelo" examines the dynamics and contradictions of Venezuela as a “modern oil nation,” offering critical perspectives on petromodernity and petroculture as a planetary superstructure.

Notable that there are no people in this image, just the type of Edenic landscape colonizers looked upon before initiating genocide and a symbol of petroculture (also not gonna read too much more into it because it’s probably lazy AI slop).
I find this emphasis on "the third world" so bizarre. And this whole "Homeland Security" campaign. Who is it for?

Put aside the crappy graphic.

Some long time ago, somebody set up the First World - the US and Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, industrialized and relatively wealthy. 1/

Petroculture meets Christmas
November 30, 2025 at 11:16 AM
We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.

"Pour le philosophe Léo Coutellec, l’agriculture est progressivement devenue une pétroculture patriarcale, caractérisée par la domination masculine et la dépendance aux fossiles. [2/3]

🚜💨 La pétroculture, vous connaissez ? Reprenant la notion de Cara New Daggett, Léo Coutellec décrit l’agriculture majoritaire comme une pétroculture patriarcale. Mais une nouvelle paysannerie féministe renouvelle les pratiques. Extrait à lire dans Terrestres ⤵️

I really wish tinier cars were more available and more "in style" here. But of course a petroculture has to petroculture & make bigger and bigger vehicles. I would for sure be crushed driving a Lada now.

I have been using a lot this book by Cara New Dagett for my thesis on #petroculture and narratives in the Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger. My aim was to show how petroculture informs us and reinforce bigger systems: patriarchy, capitalism and extractivism.

Just finished Oil People by David Huebert. @camillemarys.bsky.social and @finnarne.me advised it, and it is definitely a very nice recommendation. Thank you! There is a lot in this book, I could talk about #petromasculinity, of course #petroculture

Andy starts by insisting on the centrality of the humanities to the energy transition. ‘The science has been clear for decades: the transition is slow because petroculture is so embedded - the humanities can help’.

LNG has strangely bad vibes among people i talk to compared to oil. I wonder how much of this comes down to petroculture

happy 8th release-aversary to the fantastic LOGAN LUCKY, among the tiptop bestest HEIST films ever made, a crucial mediation of petroculture and 2016

Thanks to this #petroculture postcard I have learned a bit about petroculture history in Brittany
August 15, 2025 at 3:46 PM
Came across an unexpected #petroculture postcard in a Britannian home by illustrator Nikolaz Le Corre. Humorous caption says "authentic Britannian crêpe": made me wonder if the oil trucks were that common in Brittany (north west of France) ⬇️

I was so happy I got to review this book on oil poetry! Interesting poets and great, nuanced readings of their work. #petroculture #energyhumanities #envhum

Today's #CriticalConcept comes from Landhaus Fellow Angela Antle, "Polydisciplinamorous Theorypractice."

The concepts are based on the RCC's Lunchtime Colloquia, which are usually uploaded to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@rcarsoncent...
