Promising the future of nuclear fusion: performativity of a materialised vision

Activity: Talk or presentation / Lecture › Presentation at a conference / workshop for industry or public institution

Description

Nuclear fusion R&D inevitably embraces a long-term future vision up to the next century. Based on empirical research on the ITER project, this paper explores how imaginaries and promises formulate a pathway and interact with materialities so that the uncertain future acts as “real”.
