Energy Talk, Temporality, and Belonging in Austerity Greece
2017
Overview
Dramatic changes in the energy landscape provide a lens through which to understand local perceptions of temporality, modernity, and belonging in austerity Greece. Re-launched in 2011, the European Union-supported solar energy initiative encourages installation of futuristic, high-tech photovoltaic panels on fertile agricultural land. However, winter 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 witnessed a return en-masse to open-fires and wood-burning stoves as a means for people to heat their homes, something locals associate with material poverty, pre-modernity, and pre-Europeanization. Drawing on ethnographic research in the town of Trikala, central Greece, this article demonstrates how \"energy talk\" provides a prism through which locals discuss the past, the future, and increasing poverty, and reassess their belonging in a modern Europe.
