Financial Petroleum Cultures draws upon literature, film, architecture, photography, infrastructure, advertisements, and financial reports to explore how financial narratives shape the future of energy and climate. Using frameworks from the energy, environmental, and economic humanities, the book argues that financial representations dominate contemporary petroleum cultures. It focuses on the competing narratives of finance, celebratory and critical, determining how energy is perceived, imagined, and used. Encompassing critiques of ideology and infrastructure, this book offers a new understanding of the political visions enabled and constrained by the financial sector in an increasingly volatile world.
