Exploring the intersection of aesthetics and the petrochemical industry, this book delves into how oilscapes are perceived and constructed socially. It examines individual interpretations of landscapes shaped by petroleum extraction and its impacts, emphasizing the limits and possibilities of aesthetic experiences. Drawing from neopragmatic landscape research and Richard Rorty's ideas, it critiques expert knowledge and innovative representation methods, focusing on Louisiana's diverse landscapes affected by over a century of petrochemical activities and their ecological consequences.
