Fuelling a Fairytale: Petroculture in Norway
Dr. Katie Ritson
Center for Environment and Society
Das Seminar wird auf Englisch gehalten.
In 1969, substantial oil deposits were discovered under the Ekofisk oilfield on the Norwegian continental shelf, launching an industry which continues today. Besides the impact on local industry and landscape, and the economic impact and on Norway as a whole, oil has also seeped into Norwegian culture. Oil is both materially and imaginatively constitutive and thus we find its reflection across films, music, art, theatre and literary texts. In this lecture I will explore how the relationship between oil and culture is being renegotiated in the current moment of ecological crisis.
