| Zusammenfassung: | The transforming effects of oil need to be made visible, if we are to understand its impact on the societies that have grown dependent upon it, and unleash the imaginaries necessary to inspire an energetic transition. Art certainly has a role to play in this matter, as made clear since the turn of the Millennium by unprecedented developments in ecocriticism, in parallel with the production of artistic work that has sought to bring oil and its attendant logics into view. This article will be observing this epochal change through the narrow prism of the petroscape, the representation of the oil fields, in English-Canadian fiction and the visual arts. |
