Fossil Fuels, Furious Flames
From: The Memory We Could Be
$1.70
Decades of carbon capitalism have woven fossil fuels into the fabric of our world. Cultures have been shaped by their influence. Cars have dominated our streets and cities as well as our minds, emerging as symbols of prosperity, freedom and coming of age. As cultural theorist Imre Szeman explains, “Our expectations, our sensibility, our habits, our ways of being in the world, how we imagine ourselves in relation to nature, as well as in relation to one another — these have all been sculpted by and in relation to the massively expanded energies of the fossil-fuel era.”
