The concept of ‘stranded assets’ has become central to analysis of the climate crisis. Rapid decarbonisation will result in the mass devaluation of a whole host of fossil-fuel-related investments. But where did the language of stranding come from, and how has its meaning changed over time?

Thanks for this Kate! Absolutely-omnipresent contingency means that you can’t comfortably deduct ideational presentation of material interests from actors’ positionality; I think this faulty assumption is a huge part in explaining why many commentators did not foresee Brexit and Trump happen in 2016

So important from @kjephd.bsky.social. Political scientists ignore the critical importance of how meaning is constructed & so our work on climate suffers. Economic sociologists are much better on this, see @pgolka.bsky.social @danieldrisc.com @vapunkt.bsky.social & others (chime in, folks!). 1/2

Der Artikel von @vapunkt.bsky.social im heutigen @derstandard.at ("Seilbahnbetreiber denken in Horizonten von drei bis fünf Jahren") entspricht meinen Erfahrungen: Der Klimawandel wird von Touristiker:innen nicht (mehr) geleugnet, führt aber auch nicht zu mehr Einsatz für den Klimaschutz.
