这本《人类学季刊》的特别文集旨在激发人们对现代权力的形成和运作的新思维。具体而言，文章探讨了能源力量和基础设施如何与制度和政治权力的想法相互关联，希望煽风点火，我们并列的探索过程与福柯的“生物权力”的影响力的范式。所有的文章都探讨了今天的“生物能源”模式（生命和人口的管理）如何在关键方面依赖于能源模式（电力和燃料的利用），反之亦然。我们特别强调，在关于人为气候变化的科学和政治讨论日益重要的背景下，探讨生物能源和能源能源的结合点至关重要。随着人类对能源的使用越来越多地与生活条件（人类和其他）的破坏和破坏联系在一起，占主导地位的能源政治系统（如碳燃料）和生物政治项目（如可持续性）之间的紧张关系越来越明显，为人类学分析开辟了新的可能性。我们的结论是，能源和生物能源都进入了一个关键的过渡阶段。
This special collection of Anthropological Quarterly aims to spark new ways of thinking about formations and operations of modern power. Specifically, the articles explore how energic forces and infrastructures interrelate with institutions and ideations of political power In the hope of fanning sparks into flames, we juxtapose this process of exploration with the influential paradigm of "biopower" developed by Michel Foucault. All of the essays explore how modalities of "biopower" (the management of life and population) today depend in crucial respects upon modalities of energopower (the harnessing of electricity and fuel) and vice-versa. We emphasize especially the critical importance of exploring the juncture of biopower and energopower in the context of the rising importance of scientific and political discourse on anthropogenic climate change. As human use of energy is increasingly linked to the disruption and destruction of conditions of life (human and otherwise), the tensions between dominant energopolitical systems (like carbon fuel) and biopolitical projects (like sustainability) are increasingly evident, opening new possibilities of anthropological analysis. Both energopower and biopower, we conclude, are entering into a pivotal transitional phase.
