As workers and investment move west in Canada, has Canada鈥檚 economic geography changed, leaving Ontario鈥檚 industrial heartland to wither and decline? Will disputes over the environmental impact of resource extraction bring a new wave of political activism in Canada? How are filmmakers, novelists, playwrights and musicians responding to Canada鈥檚 petroleum boom? These and many other issues will be taken up at Petrocultures 2014.

The 成人VR视频 Institute for the Study of Canada event will be held in partnership with the University of Alberta, which held its own very successful Petrocultures conference in 2012. Speakers include the authors of key books on oil and energy, such as Satya Das (Green Oil), Mary Janigan (Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark), Stephanie Lemanager (Living Oil: Petroleum Culture in the American Century) and the always-controversial Ezra Levant, author of Ethical Oil. Among the artists participating are filmmaker Brenda Longfellow, author Warren Cariou, interactive videogame designer David Dufresne (Fort McMoney), and Alberta-based cowboy singer Tim Hus. Registration is limited, and interested persons are invited to go聽here聽for further information.
