oday, energy emerges as a central issue not only in politics, economics and environmental studies, but also across the humanities and social sciences. It stands at the intersection of multiple disciplines – philosophy, human and nonhuman geographies, material history, anthropology, cultural studies, and psychoanalysis. Energy humanities contribute actively to the multidisciplinary discourse on the future of the planet and its inhabitants. Questions of energy extraction, transportation, and consumption underpin modern conflicts and their geopolitical dimensions, spanning from fossil fuel trade and the challenges of energy transition to the nuclear threat, which rekindles Cold War tensions. These issues are set within broader contexts of global inequalities, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
