与常规资源不同,非常规天然气(如页岩气)被困在低渗透性岩石中,无法自然流动。因此,其提取成本高昂,需要尖端技术。基于我在英格兰西北部和波兰东南部的民族志工作,我探索了人们与页岩气材料的接触,以展示地质和工程科学框架内的“非常规资源”类别不仅仅具有技术意义。相反,页岩气通过试图摆脱社会纠缠,产生了新的社会技术关系。这些尝试未能遏制地下和当地影响的不受控制的力量,使资源开采的异化动力急剧突出。材料和基础设施限制的不规则性,与开发的社会非传统性不可分割,无意中将页岩气项目变成了政治场所。
Unlike conventional resources, unconventional gas (such as shale gas) is trapped in low permeability rock, from which it does not flow naturally. Hence, its extraction is costly and requires sophisticated technologies. Building on my ethnographic work in north-west England and south-east Poland, I explore people’s engagements with shale gas materialities to show how the category of an ‘unconventional resource’ – framed by geological and engineering sciences – has more than merely technological implications. Instead, shale gas produces new sociotechnical relations by trying to remove itself from social entanglements. These attempts fail to contain the unruly forces of the subsurface and local impacts, bringing the alienating dynamics of resource-making into sharp relief. The irregularities of materials and infrastructural limits, integral to the socially dis-embedded ‘unconventionality’ of the developments, inadvertently turn shale gas projects into a site of the political.
