⚡️Joining ECAS 2025? Consider submitting to our panel “Claim-making and Energy Citizenship” (Urban Studies/Infrastructure stream) convened by Liza Cirolia and me, Chaired by Anna Selmeczi, with Razaz Basheir, Tammy Wilks and Leigh-Anne Maurtin from the CLAIMS team attending the Conference in Prague, June 25-28th. 💡 The panel explores energy - and specifically electricity - as a site for negotiating and substantiating citizenship in South African cities. Deadline is Dec 15th, and we look forward to share and engage. Abstract 🔌This panel explores energy, and specifically electricity, as a site for negotiating and substantiating citizenship in South African cities. The panel centres and advances questions emerging from the early stages of the “CLAIMS to Energy Citizenship” research project – a partnership between the Universities of Cape Town and Copenhagen. 🔋In the context of complex technological transitions in the energy landscape both locally and globally, the claim-making/citizenship nexus offers an entry point to explore politics, technologies, situatedness, and state-practice. 🎙️ We are particularly interested in understanding claim-making from diverse perspectives: (vernacular) archives, temporalities, and urban geographies. Further, we are keen to explore how states, particularly city authorities, engage with different registers and modalities of claims, and to trace the tools of governmentality that this gives rise to.  📰📺📱📚 Some of the questions we hope to address include: How are different types and modes of claims to energy citizenship articulated and legitimated, and by whom? 🗃️🗄️🗂️ How and why are claims and claim-making processes documented, archived, or erased? How are claims taken up within the frame of the developmental imperative to expand energy access, and how are they reshaped, hijacked, or mis-/appropriated? 🌿 How do claims by the state and citizens to- and about energy -illustrate both unresolved and new debates about modes of being and belonging? And how do these interface with questions around history, culture, politics, economy, social formation and the environment? 🌍 We invite conceptual, empirical, and methodological contributions related to claim-making, energy, and African cities.
