Predominant climate change narratives emphasize a global emissions
problem, while diagnoses of environmental crises have long focused a
modern loss of meaning, value, and enchantment in nature. Yet neither
of these common portrayals of environmental emergency adequately
account for the ways climate change is rooted in extractivisms that
have been profoundly enchanted. The proposed critical petro-theology
analyzes the current energy driven climate crisis through critical
gender, race, decolonial, and postsecular lenses. Both predominant
narratives obscure the entanglements of bodies and energy: how energy
concepts and practices have consistently delineated genres of humanity
and how energy systems and technologies have shaped bodies.
Consequently, these analytical and ethical aims inform an exploration
of alternative embodied energies that can be attended to in the
disrupted time/space of energy intensive, extractive capitalism.
