The Constitute #3: From Oil-Pump to Solar-Punk

How might Norwegian TV drama and American SF lit help us negotiate our energy futures?

Hi all, here’s episode there of The Constitute! my definition of this new noun is here,but essentially this is a 12-15 minute video - musing over the themes and trends that have come through my info-week.

This week, I’m using the BBC/Norwegian series State of Happiness, and the solar punk novels of Becky Chambers, to light up our energy futures… all the sources/references in the piece are below.

If you’d like to consult with me further on these overviews, as an organisation or an individual, please contact me here.

Love, later, PK x
