本文基于 2016 年至 2019 年的人种学实地调查，研究了卢旺达/刚果民主共和国边境基伍湖的甲烷提取作业，以此作为了解非洲能源未来如何在战后重建国家项目中设想和实施的镜头。 2005年，科学家提出，该湖溶解的甲烷可能在本世纪内出现过饱和的风险。这刺激了国家支持的项目，以同时预防自然灾害并利用甲烷来满足卢旺达不断增长的电气化需求。目前有两家公司正在建设和运营以甲烷为燃料的发电厂。文章认为，这些能源项目是卢旺达社会修复整体架构的一个组成部分，它们再现并产生了囚禁和诱捕的形式，这对于理解种族灭绝后一代人“监狱修复”的现实政治至关重要。
This article, based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2016–2019, examines methane extraction operations in Lake Kivu on the Rwanda/DRC border as a lens into understanding how energy futures in Africa are imagined and enacted within national projects of post-war reconstruction. In 2005, scientists suggested that the lake’s dissolved methane risked oversaturation within the century. This spurred state-backed projects to simultaneously prevent a natural disaster and harness the methane to meet Rwanda’s rising electrification needs. Two companies are currently building and operating methane-fuelled power plants. The article suggests that these energy projects, an integral part of the overall architecture of social repair in Rwanda, reproduce and generate forms of captivity and entrapment that are central to understanding the lived politics of ‘carceral repair’, a generation after genocide.
