SUMMARY:On Barak\, "Against Energy: Provincializing Thermodynamics between Aden and Port Said"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nDespite feigning perpetuity\, “energy” is a child of its time\, the nineteenth century. Born from the related challenges of steam engineering and British imperialism its legacies still haunt and limit our thinking on matters ranging from fossil fuels to race\, from labor to the underground. This talk seeks to situate the emblematic energy source – coal – back in its imperial context\, revealing what may be called “coalonialism” at play in the territories between the two major global fueling stations of the century\, Aden and Port Said. Such acts of provincializing flesh out alternative ways for regarding fossil fuels\, including ethical\, political and environmental insights that the science of thermodynamics helped evaporate. \nBarak is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern & African History at Tel Aviv University. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.
