Shale Fever or Heatstroke: On Agata Stasik’s Współwytwarzanie wiedzy o technologii [The Co-Creation of Knowledge about Technology]

Summary/Abstract: Wróbel discusses Agata Stasik’s book Współwytwarzanie wiedzy o technologii [The CoCreation of Knowledge about Technology]. While reading this book Stasik examines the political and ontological status of shale gas in the Polish context by analysing the “Polish shale gas fever” from 2011-14. Stasik wonders whether the enthusiasm for shale gas in Poland results from our collective hopes for an Eldorado or the persuasive effect of mass media. Why did the shale gas fever subside so quickly, making shale gas “unreal”? Wróbel argues that reading Stasik’s book, the problem of renewable energy should be placed in a broader context, asking about the relationship between different political systems and their preferred types of energy.
