Resumen

Las plantas de energía nuclear, con su promesa de energía ilimitada y de bajo costo, son el arquetipo del progreso moderno. A medida que reconocemos los límites del progreso industrial y del capital basado en el crecimiento, los lugares donde el sueño se acabó, cuyos habitantes encuentran formas de vida en medio de la transición, ofrecen ontologías prácticas emergentes basadas en el mantenimiento, el bricolaje y la necesidad. A través de un estudio de caso de la ciudad atómica de Visaginas, en Lituania, este artículo aborda la cuestión de cómo hacer frente a las formas de vida que surgen en un contexto de agotamiento de la alta modernidad. Aquí, las infraestructuras operan como recursos culturales y materiales residuales para ontologías prácticas y para la construcción del mundo post progreso. Con base en una discusión sobre la estética política de la infraestructura, sugiero que su transición ontológica implica lo que Mark Fisher describe como la “memoria de los futuros perdidos”, un futuro anterior que, a través de los restos de conexiones materiales, tecnoculturas y memoria cultural, establece límites. y condiciones para formas de vida emergentes “post progreso”.
