동아시아 최대 탄광도시 푸순의 놀라운 역사 “탄소가 만든 세계”에 대한 역사학적 비판 푸순은 과거에 ‘만주’라 불린 중국 둥베이(東北) 지역의 가장 남쪽에 있는 랴오닝성에 있다. 이 도시의 지하에는 막대한 양의 석탄이 들어 있다. 20세기 전반기에 푸순 탄광을 경영한 일제 기업 남만주철도주식회사의 등장과 더불어 대규모 석탄 채굴 산업이 발전했다. 1933년에 푸순은 만주 석탄 생산량의 4/5, 일본 본국과 식민지 전체에서 생산된 석탄의 1/6을 책임지고 있었다. 일본이라는 에너지 제국의 칠흑의 심장, 그곳이 바로 푸순이었다. 1928년에 푸순을 찾은 일본 시인 요사노 아키코는 노천광을 “마치 하늘을 향해 커다란 아가리를 열어젖힌 지상의 괴물과도 같은 무시무시하고 기괴한 형상”이라고 묘사했다. 《탄소 기술관료주의》는 한때 동아시아 최대 탄광이었던 푸순의 역사를 비판적으로 검토함으로써 화석 연료에 대한 우리의 지독한 의존이 어떻게 시작되었는지 살펴본다. 이 책은 제국 일본에서 공산 중국에 이르기까지 확연히 다른 여러 정치 체제를 가로지른다. 그러나 이 책에 등장하는 모든 정권은 놀라울 정도로 유사한 경로를 따른다. 바로 국제 경쟁과 경제 성장, 국가 안보, 자원 자립에 대한 국가주의적 집착 속에서 석탄 중심의 개발주의를 수용했다는 점이다. 그 결과 막심한 생태 및 환경 파괴가 뒤따랐음은 물론이다. 그것이 다가 아니다. 《탄소 기술관료주의》는 특히 석탄 에너지를 이용 가능하게 만들기 위해 이런저런 노동을 해야 했던 사람들이 입은 피해를 강조한다. 과도한 탄광 굴착이 초래한 위험 속에서 언제나 높아져만 가는 채굴 목표를 달성하기 위해 땀 흘렸던 노동자들 가운데 너무 많은 사람이 다치거나 죽었다.

A forceful reckoning with the relationship between energy and power through the history of what was once East Asia’s largest coal mine. The coal-mining town of Fushun in China’s Northeast is home to a monstrous open pit. First excavated in the early twentieth century, this pit grew like a widening maw over the ensuing decades, as various Chinese and Japanese states endeavored to unearth Fushun’s purportedly “inexhaustible” carbon resources. Today, the depleted mine that remains is a wondrous and terrifying monument to fantasies of a fossil-fueled future and the technologies mobilized in attempts to turn those developmentalist dreams into reality. In Carbon Technocracy, Victor Seow uses the remarkable story of the Fushun colliery to chart how the fossil fuel economy emerged in tandem with the rise of the modern technocratic state. Taking coal as an essential feedstock of national wealth and power, Chinese and Japanese bureaucrats, engineers, and industrialists deployed new technologies like open-pit mining and hydraulic stowage in pursuit of intensive energy extraction. But as much as these mine operators idealized the might of fossil fuel–driven machines, their extractive efforts nevertheless relied heavily on the human labor that those devices were expected to displace. Under the carbon energy regime, countless workers here and elsewhere would be subjected to invasive techniques of labor control, ever-escalating output targets, and the dangers of an increasingly exploited earth. Although Fushun is no longer the coal capital it once was, the pattern of aggressive fossil-fueled development that led to its ascent endures. As we confront a planetary crisis precipitated by our extravagant consumption of carbon, it holds urgent lessons. This is a groundbreaking exploration of how the mutual production of energy and power came to define industrial modernity and the wider world that carbon made.

The book of Daniel is concerned with religious persecution. Daniel's message in this apocalyptic text, however, assures that God will deliver those who trust God, refuse to worship other Gods, and keep Jewish tradition in the face of persecution. C. L. Seow examines this difficult and provocative book and explores its relevance to faith and the church today. Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice.
