In forty-four short essays, inspired by an equal amount of pictorial findings, Klose and Steininger develop a technical, geographical, political, and speculative panorama of the declining era of petroleum modernity.</p><p>The authors stroll through Baku, Rotterdam, and Louisiana, into Manchuria and through the Vienna Basin. They read Bertolt Brecht, technical manuals, and petroculture theory, and they listen to Neil Young. They go to the moon, through refineries and over highways emptied by the COVID-19 pandemic. They confront petrochemistry with petromelancholy, catalysis with catharsis, cosmos with cosmetics. The <italic>Atlas of Petromodernity</italic> tackles the contradictory ambivalences of a substance that has been vital for our epoch, and whose roles and meanings need to be understood in order to be able to leave this epoch behind.</p> 20 00 Open Access punctum books 01 punctum books 16 Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Earth, Milky Way 04 01 20240705 2024 06 15 9781685712181 06 15 9781685712198 09 punctum books 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://punctumbooks.com/titles/atlas-of-petromodernity/ 99 01 09 punctum books 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.punctumbooks.com/10.53288/0514.1.00.pdf 99 01
