Call for Papers: RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, London
Session: New Energy Spaces – Conceptualizing the geographical political economy of energy transitions
Convenors: Gavin Bridge (Durham University) and Ludger Gailing (Leibniz-Institute for Research on Society and Space)
Sponsored by the Energy Geographies Research Group of the RGS-IBG
Abstract
The session examines the spatial organization of energy transitions from a wide range of conceptual and theoretical perspectives. The concept of “new energy spaces”
refers not only to spatial aspects of infrastructures like power plants and grids. Instead it also points to energy governance (supranational, national, urban, regional), the formation of energy landscapes, aspects of resource production and consumption, and
the shifting relations between energy policies and energy industries. Energy transitions research is often accused of failing to explain how different spatial contexts matter and treating places merely as locations in which transitions happen. The intricate
relations between spaces and energy transitions, as well as the multiple ways in which space and energy infrastructures constitute each other, are indicative of the value to be derived from conceiving energy transitions as an important geographical issue.
A key objective of the session to gain a deeper understanding of how the spatiality of energy transitions can be conceptualized. Contributions to this panel will assess the benefits (and shortcomings) of specific theoretical or conceptual approaches for the
understanding of energy transitions. Suggested topics may include (but are not limited to) the following approaches
• The political economy of energy transitions
• Conceptualizing the socio-materiality of energy in relational terms as socio-technical configurations, assemblages, spatial metabolisms or dispositives
• The TPSN-framework (Jessop et al. 2008) or related concepts in the field of sociospatial relations concerning the dimensions of territory, place, scale and network,
• The governance or governmentality of energy transitions
We anticipate 15 minute oral presentations in a multi-paper session followed by a discussant. Presenters are kindly invited to submit their proposals to ludger....@leibniz-irs.de by 13th February 2017. Proposals should comprise the title of the paper, an abstract (up to 250 words), and full contact details including the affiliation and the email address.
Call For Papers Deadline: 13-Feb-2017

The Production of Space in the Context of Environmental and Infrastructural Governance

Abstract:
Space is both socially constructed and a fundamental component of the social structuring of reality. Processes of spatial production must be placed centre stage in our accounts of social practices, governance and societal change. This session examines processes of spatial production in the governance of infrastructures and the environment. Through theoretically-informed case studies we seek to critically examine the production of space and its role in the regulation of society-environment / nature-culture relations.
