*New podcast: researcher and writer Cara New Daggett
<https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-343-cara-new-daggett> oil cultures,
petromasculinities and ecomodernism*

In this podcast, energy, work, utopian demands, and unions, become
intertwined with oil cultures, petromasculinities and ecomodernism, to
reflect on growth, dependency, debt and energy transitions beyond
extractivism. Degrowth, desire, pleasure, feminist science and new
story-telling strategies are revealed as key ingredients for the recipe to
reimagine ecologically generous ways of life on Earth.

Reassessing and defamiliarizing historical narratives that sit at the core
of white patriarchal societies, is a necessary feminist practice and one at
which Cara New Daggett,
<https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-343-cara-new-daggett>writer and
researcher in the field of energy politics, excels at. Her genealogical
approach to energy in “The Birth of Energy” unveils the deep political
implications of this steam-born concept, showing how entangled energy is to
power and work in today's fossil-fueled imaginaries and why “an energy
transition is not just as simple as switching fuel types”.

Currently an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at
Virginia Tech, she coined the word ‘petromasculinity’ in a homonymous
article that outlined the historical role of fossil fuels in reinforcing
the patriarchal order, channeling climate anxiety through authoritarian
desires within the far-right. Cara Daggett is also founding member of The
Mayapple Energy Transition Collective, together with her friends and
scholars Shannon Bell and Christine Labuski, with whom she thinks of
possible human-energy relations for a just energy transition.
