launch of the Research at the Intersections of Gender Signature Area. T04-P01, T04-P03 University of Alberta | Activity | 2019-03-28 | | | Disposition, in Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space — S3E6In this episode we read Chapter 2 from Keller Easterling’s 2014 book Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, published by Verso Books.
In this book, Easterling offers an understanding of infrastructure as the hidden substrate — or binding medium — through which standards and ideas are shared between bodies. For Easterling, then, the notion of infrastructure as Extrastatecraft refers to the ways in which contemporary infrastructure spaces are manipulated and controlled in order to exert power and orchestrate activities that can remain unstated but are nevertheless consequential to many.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | The Infrastructure of Intimacy — S3E5In this episode we read Ara Wilson’s article “The Infrastructure of Intimacy”, published by Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society in Winter 2016.
Bringing together intimacy and infrastructure, this article explores the ways in which infrastructures are involved in social relations and, in many cases, shape the conditions for relational life.T04-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | Feminist Hackerspace as a Place of Infrastructure Production — S3E4In this episode we read Selena Savic and Stefanie Wuschitz’s article “Feminist Hackerspace as a Place of Infrastructure Production”, which was published in 2018 by Ada A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology (issue number 13).
In this article, Savic and Wuschitz approach the question of infrastructure by taking a critical stand towards feminist hacking practices, with specific focus on how such practices might offer a way to create and share essential infrastructure with female or transgender identified makers.
T04-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | The commons: Infrastructures for troubling times — S3E3In this episode we read “The commons: Infrastructures for troubling times” by Lauren Berlant. This article was published in the 2016 (Volume 34) edition of Society and Space, an international and interdisciplinary scholarly and political project hosted by SAGE Journals.
In this essay, Lauren Berlant provides a concept of structure for transitional times, with the caveat that all times are, indeed, transitional. Focusing on the need to analyse infrastructures beyond just repair and replacement, Berlant explores how structural forms born from brokenness might go beyond the exigencies of current crises, offering alternative visions of infrastructural transformation.T04-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | Infrastructures of Empire and Resistance — S3E2In this episode we read Deborah Cowen’s 2017 article “Infrastructures of Empire and Resistance”, which was published on January 25, 2017 on the Verso Books Blog.
In this article, Cowen explores the issue of infrastructure by focusing on how relations of power and of force rely on socio-technical systems, including infrastructural systems, which are themselves increasingly the object of struggle.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | Infrastructure, Infra-politics — S3E1For our first episode in Series III, we are excited to share an excerpt from Angela Mitropoulos’ 2012 book Contract & Contagion: From Biopolitics to Oikonomia titled “Infrastructure, Infra-politics.”
In this short excerpt, Mitropoulos positions infrastructure as an infra-political question of how affinities take shape, or not. Or as she puts it, “[i]nfrastructure is the answer given to the question of movement and relation”.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-04-10 | | | Materializing Climate Change—S2E6In this episode we will be reading Dr. Nicole Shukin’s 2015 article “Materializing Climate Change: Image of Exposure, States of Exception”.
This text is included in the edited collection Material Cultures in Canada, edited by Thomas Allen and Jennifier Blair, and published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press in 2015. Material Cultures in Canada presents the vibrant and diverse field of material culture studies in Canadian literary, artistic, and political contexts today. This collection features sixteen essays by leading scholars in Canada, each of whom examines a different object of study, including the beaver, geraniums, comics, water, a musical playlist, and the human body. In Dr. Shukin’s contribution, she draws attention to photographic and filmic productions, or what she terms “cultural barometers”, that are designed to produce moving, material images of the historical crisis of climate change.T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | Chainsaw: Theory and Practice—S2E5This Read & Record episode features a performative readings of the zine “Chainsaw: Theory and Practice” by Catherine Lavoie-Marcus in complicity with non-disciplinary artist Johanna Householder.
Originally published in 2017 as part of the Viva! Art Action Festival in Montreal and inspired by Householder’s performance work, the zine presents a conversation on the counter-usage of the chainsaw as an undetermined method for slicing the master’s home, bad habits, bullshit, the historical framework, pride, and ‘the real’. This reading is performed by Kinuk, the artistic collaborative duo of Ursula Johnson and Angella Parsons.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | Performing Sovereignty—S2E4In this episode we will be reading “Performing Sovereignty: Forces to be Reckoned With” by Dr. Carla Taunton.
This text is included in the edited collection More Caught in the Act: An Anthology of Performance Art by Canadian Women, edited by Johanna Householder and Tanya Mars, and published by Artexte in 2016. More Caught in the Act includes 29 comprehensive profiles of artists from across Canada, along with five contextual essays that place current performance strategies by women within broader art historical and cultural contexts. In the text by Dr. Taunton, she provides a critical account of several performance art interventions by Indigenous artists to explore the ways in which Indigenous performance art is connected to customary practices of transmitting histories, knowledges and cosmologies.T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | Choreographies of Collaboration—S2E3This episode features a Read & Record of Liz Miller and Martin Allor’s 2016 essay “Choreographies of collaboration: Social engagement in interactive documentaries”, from Volume 10, Issue 1 of the journal ‘Studies in Documentary Film’ (Taylor & Francis).
In this text, the authors engage in a series of in-depth conversations with socially engaged Canadian directors, producers and distribution strategists, in order to analyze new opportunities for using interactive non-linear documentary in order to practice interventions towards social change.T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | Amateur Video & The Challenge for Change — S2E2In this episode we will be reading “Amateur video and the challenge for change” by Dr. Janine Marchessault. This text is included in the collection “Challenge for Change”, edited by Thomas Waugh, Michael Brenda Baker & Ezra Winton and published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2016.
The collection offers an examination of the radical politics and cinema of the legendary documentary film program — Challenge for Change/Société nouvelle — which ran from 1967 to 1980 and produced films in both French and English, challenging audiences, subjects, and filmmakers to confront sexism, poverty, and marginalization in the hope of developing community as well as political awareness and empowerment. Here, Dr. Marchessault returns to an essay she wrote in the early 1990s, in order to offer a critical perspective on one aspect of Challenge for Change, namely, the way the program underplayed structures of power by emphasizing the immediate and seemingly unmediated nature of communication forms that were being animated by the NFB filmmakers involved in the project at the time.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | (Re)framing Big Data—S2E1For our first episode in Series II, we are excited to share a Read & Record of the 2018 article “(Re)framing Big Data: Activating Situated Knowledges and a Feminist Ethics of Care in Social Media Research” by Dr. Mary Elizabeth Luka & Dr. Mélanie Millette.
In this article, the authors seek to problematize assumptions and trends in “big data” digital methods and research through an intersectional feminist lens. Articulating their critique through a feminist ethics of care, the article poses a number of practical questions about practices of care in social media research, pointing toward future research directions.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-11-05 | | | Energy Imaginaries—S1E5In this episode we will be reading Sheena Wilson’s 2018 article titled “Energy Imaginaries: Feminist and Decolonial Futures,” which can be found in Materialism and the Critique of Energy, edited by Brent Ryan Bellamy and Jeff Diamanti.
Materialism and the Critique of Energy brings together twenty-one theorists working in a range of traditions to conceive of a twenty-first century materialism critical of the economic, political, cultural, and environmental impacts of large-scale energy development on collective life. In Wilson’s contribution, she outlines the current barriers to energy transition and the need to expand and deepen energy literacy in order to help us collaboratively imagine and collectively move toward socially just—decolonized and feminist—energy futures.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | | | In Catastrophic Times—S1E4This Read & Record episode features a selection of chapters from Isabelle Stengers’ 2015 book In catastrophic times: Resisting the coming barbarism. The book was translated from French to English by Andrew Goffey and published by Open Humanities Press in 2015.
In Catastrophic Times offers a welcome intervention into the current state of global political impasses and ecological catastrophe by outlining the cumulative impacts of global warming as a series of crises that will not “pass” before everything goes back to “normal.” As Stengers outlines through various examples—pollution, the poison of pesticides, the exhaustion of natural resources, falling water tables, growing social inequalities—the possibility of a global climate crisis is now upon us, in turn requiring new strategies and tactical experiments that are capable of seizing environmental issues and sociotechnical problems as political questions in order to resist the ‘coming barbarism’.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | | | Indigenous Women and Knowledge—S1E3In this episode we will be reading “Indigenous Women and Knowledge” by Isabel Altamirano-Jimenez & Nathalie Kermoal. This text is featured in Living on the Land. Indigenous Women’s Understanding of Place, also edited by Isabel Altamirano-Jimenez & Nathalie Kermoal and published through Athabasca University Press in 2016.
Living on the Land examines how patriarchy, gender, and colonialism have shaped the experiences of Indigenous women as both knowers and producers of knowledge. From a variety of methodological perspectives, contributors to the volume explore the nature and scope of Indigenous women’s knowledge, its rootedness in relationships both human and spiritual, and its inseparability from land and landscape.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | | | Against Purity—S1E2This episode features a ‘Read + Record’ of the introductory chapter to Alexis Shotwell’s 2016 book “Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times”. In Against Purity, Alexis Shotwell proposes a powerful new conception of social movements as custodians for the past and incubators for liberated futures. Against Purity undertakes an analysis that draws on theories of race, disability, gender, and animal ethics as a foundation for an innovative approach to the politics and ethics of responding to systemic problems today.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | | | Indigenizing the Anthropocene—S1E1This Read & Record episode features Zoe Todd’s 2015 article “Indigenizing the Anthropocene”. This article is featured in Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environment and Epistemology, edited by Heather Davis and Etienne Turpin and published through Open Humanities Press in 2015.
In Todd’s article, she insists on an ethical relationality with Indigenous Peoples and philosophies as both a necessary starting point for processes of decolonization, and as a move away from the conditions that created the Anthropocene, including the notion of the Anthropocene itself.
T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | | | On Petrocultures: Or, Why We Need to Understand Oil to Understand Everything Else—S1E0For our first episode, we produced a Read & Record of the introduction to the recently published (2018) book Petrocultures: Oil, Politics, Culture, edited by Sheena Wilson, Adam Carlson, and Imre Szeman.
Petrocultures provides much-needed research that addresses head-on the conceptual, philosophical, and theoretical challenges that emerge from a sustained examination of the social and cultural significance of energy in various forms—oil being only the most prevalent form at present.T04-P01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-08-13 | Wilson, S., Jessie Beier, Adam Carlson, Danika Jorgensen Skakum | | CoLAB Meeting: Diggin' In to the IPCC Special Report Discussion and workshop on the most recent IPCC 'Special Report.'T04-P01 University of Alberta | Activity | 2019-02-08 | | | CoLAB Meeting: Expanding the Infrastructural Imagination Discussion of questions around feminist infrastructure and community-building that are focused on developing collective responses and alternative imaginaries to today's pressing ecological issuesT04-P01 University of Alberta | Activity | 2019-04-12 | | | CoLAB Meeting: Materializing Climate ChangeThis meeting featured a reading of Dr. Nicole Shukin’s 2015 article “Materializing Climate Change: Image of Exposure, States of Exception”, followed by a discussion of how both artistic and scientific representations might be mobilized in order to produce moving, material images of the historical crisis of climate change.

Smith Solar Farm at the E.L. Smith Water treatment plant in Alberta – a province at the epicentre of Canada’s oil and gas industry – as a case study for what I call deep energy literacy. An energy transition away from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources is a necessary first response to climate change. Deep energy literacy is a proposition, a set of theoretical concepts, through which to disrupt, or “hack”, technophilic transitions by attending to intersectional feminist and decolonial politics and solidarities. Technocratic solutions for decarbonization that do not radically reorient existing social, economic, and political relationships are failed solutions even before implementation begins because they have not addressed the root cause of climate change: a bankrupt extractivist worldview. This worldview is the cause of not only climate change but multiple converging crises. Deep energy literacy is a proposition grounded in relationality that can help us identify problems more holistically and thereby come up with solutions that not only address necessary energy transition shifts, but that do so while simultaneously addressing a plethora of other concerns – including but not limited to Indigenous (re)conciliation – by creating more equitable and just societies and ecosystems. Seen through the lens of deep energy literacy, this analysis of the processes through which the E.L. Smith Solar Farm project was approved illustrates that when decisions about new energy infrastructure are based in entrenched economic, political, social, and epistemological paradigms, they fail to disrupt the status quo and therefore fail to adequately address the root causes of climate change. To achieve a just transition many experiments need to take place; many of these experimentations will be imperfect. In the case study considered in this paper, I suggest that while deep energy literacy conversations were begun, they were not integrated fulsomely enough. Nonetheless, there are positive lessons to be taken from the E.L. Smith Solar Farm and integrated into future decision-making processes.

This Can’t Wait: Billboards For Energy Transition arose from the question: how can we use printmaking to incite social change? The project takes the 2018 IPCC report as its starting point, which declared that we have 9 years to halve our carbon usage to maintain 1.5 degrees of global warming. Billboard-sized ‘banners’ designed by emerging and established artists and designers subvert the language of advertising and re-conceptualize how we talk about climate action and energy transition within public spaces.
At SQUARE, three banners from This Can’t Wait are presented in the space, and nine are available in AR format, available via QR code, allowing you to superimpose our banners, created by the team in response to local conditions in Canada, to your home as a prompt to consider the ways in which you might engage with your local policy makers on matters of energy transition and climate action.T04-P01 University of Alberta | Activity | 2022-11-07 | Wilson, S., "Ruth Beer ", "Sean Caulfield ", "Caitlin Fisher ", "Patrick Mahon ", "Thomas Mahon ", "Janice Makokis " | | BundleAn interactive installation for "Unpacking Energy Transition (FluxKit Beta Tests)" at SQUARE, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland (November 7-11, 2022).
