{"product_id":"energy-culture-jillian-porter-9783031143199","title":"Energy Culture: Work, Power, and Waste in Russia and the Soviet Union","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume investigates energy as a shaping force in Russian and Soviet literature, visual culture, and social practice. Chronologically arranged chapters explain how nineteenth-century ideas about energy informed realist novels and paintings; how the poetics of energy defined pre-Revolutionary and Stalinist utopianism; and how fossil fuels, electricity, and nuclear fission generated distinct aesthetic features in Imperial Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet literature, cinema, and landscape. The volume's concentration on Russia responds to a clear need to understand the role the country plays in social, political, and economic processes endangering life on Earth today. The cultural dimension of Russia's efforts at energy dominance deserves increased scholarly attention not only in its own right\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003e but also because it directly affects global energy policy. As the contributors to this volume argue, the nationally inflected cultural myths that underlie human engagements with energy have been highly consequential in the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillian Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031143191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031143199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Jillian Porter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129278853375,"sku":"9783031143199","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a32ad7c-2038-4ac0-9528-3c648f9434e3.jpg?v=1687463014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/energy-culture-jillian-porter-9783031143199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
