A Greenhouse Research Talk by Anders Riel Müller/Yeonjun Song, UiS
This talk will present ongoing work on the role of “frontiers” in the so-called green transition. Based on research in and around Stavanger and in collaboration with a colleague in Sweden this talk will discuss the affective dimensions of frontier tropes in green transition imaginaries. We are particularly interested in understanding how a colonial and imperial trope is intimately associated with hope (for someone and something) in the past and present.
