Daniel M. Knight showcases how obscured 'adelo-knowledge' is exposed during epochs of intense upheaval. Since 2009 Greece has been a hot spot of interrelated crises around which new socio-techno-natural contracts have emerged. Energy is a pivot for comprehending a decade where conventional information has been upended, traditions challenged, and assumptions fractured. Energy Talk offers an ethnographically and theoretically rich rereading of established categories usually associated with the green transition, from their local particularity to the potential implications for planetary relations.
Daniel M. Knight is Reader in Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. He is the author of Porous Becomings and Vertiginous Life; and coeditor of the journal History and Anthropology journal.
