The Bennington Style Guide

BENNINGTON Bennington College Identity Guidelines

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

W

hile those who have experienced the power of a Bennington education firsthand understand its role as a leader in higher education, it is important to consistently and clearly communicate this position beyond Bennington. We have crafted this guide to be used as a resource for offices throughout the College to ensure consistent messaging and cohesive identity that will be in full support of this important work. As we continue to enter a national stage we do so with a sharp focus on the clear and powerful articulation of the value of an education where “your life’s work” begins, where students leave ready to enter a world without givens.

BENNINGTON COLLEGE POSITIONING STRATEGY

B

ennington’s success depends upon its being the most forward-thinking of the elite liberal arts institutions.

Bennington is authentically innovative. Where other liberal arts schools are adapting their education to meet the needs of today’s students and society, Bennington has been and will continue to be ahead of its time.

READY | YOUR LIFE’S WORK Bennington students graduate ready to face the world as they find it.

And ready to make the world —and their place in that world— as they want it to be.

BENNINGTON COLLEGE VISUAL IDENTITY SYSTEM

T

he Bennington identity has been crafted to be a vivid show of the College’s market distinction. Bennington College was founded as a laboratory for learning. It set out to test and refine the day’s leading approaches to education, and continues to be a proving ground for curricular innovation. A Bennington education is: Yours to define. Bennington equips students to discover and define the purpose of their education, and the direction of their life’s work.

Dimensional. Learning takes place in multiple contexts and multiple environments, and it draws on a diversity of perspectives.

Informed by making. Bennington asks students to wrestle their questions and ideas into something tangible.

Reciprocal. Bennington thrives in the feedback loop between theory and practice, between teachers and students, between peers, between campus and the world.

A process, a practice. Students take with them when they graduate not only what they have learned but also the way in which they have learned it.

Working with an expansive palette and fonts, the College’s foundational visuals draw on these aesthetic values: l Contemporary elegance to underscore an education responsive to the here and now, a modern view of the world; l Plenty of white space and clean, open canvases that allow the content to take center stage and that underscore Bennington’s student-driven, maker-forward education; l Dimensional approaches (raised lettering, layers, and forms with space) to understand the multiple dimensions of a Bennington Education.

LOGO

TYPEFACE

BE NNI NGTON

Bennington’s logo uses Neutra lettering, a typeface that was designed by former faculty member and renowned modernist architect Richard Neutra.

Neutra’s way of working is particularly resonate with Bennington’s own approach. The modernist was known for his substantive engagement with his clients, regardless of the size of the project, to develop spaces that were untemplated and responsive to the unique character of the client.

THE CLASS OF 2019 BENNINGTON READING LIST At Bennington we read—a lot. We don’t just read, we talk about what we read, we blog about what we read, and we are always curious about what everyone else is reading, which is why we asked you to suggest a book that we all should read.

YOU RECOMMENDED 685 BOOKS! Every single book suggested by an enrolled student will be added (if it is not already there) to Bennington’s Crossett Library collection. In fact, this is exactly how Crossett builds its collection—fulfilling book requests made by Bennington students, faculty, and staff.

MOST BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS

WHERE WORK COUNTS

MOST ACCESSIBLE PROFESSORS

Year after year Bennington is recognized by The Princeton Review for campus beauty—inside and out—from its student houses to its 440 acres of sweeping views. And Architectural Digest included Bennington on its list of the country’s “Top 10 Campuses with Best Architecture.”

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top colleges for internships and noted by The New York Times as a college where students study “what it is to work,” Bennington’s annual Field Work Term sets the standard for immersive, integrated internship programs. Bennington is the only college to require—from the beginning—that all students take their academic interests to the field and on the job for two months each and every winter.

Bennington students work closely with a faculty of innovators—writers and researchers, artists and scientists, all actively practicing in their fields. They bring their experiences and perspectives as professionals into the classroom, and their teaching in turn informs their professional work. It is with good reason that every year Bennington tops The Princeton Review’s lists of colleges with the “Best Classroom Experience” and “Most Accessible Professors,” and where “Professors Get High Marks” and “Class Discussions Are Encouraged.”

MUST SEE BENNINGTON COLLEGE

T

he best places in life are the places you must see to experience. Bennington is one of those places. No one day is like another here, because the campus is shaped and animated by the work being made, and the people making it. It has always held innovation at its center. It is here where Jackson Pollock had his first retrospective. It is here where Peter Drucker crafted the framework for modern management, where Buckminster Fuller built his first model for the Dymaxion House, where literary giants penned their breakout novels, where Peter Dinklage ’91, Donna Tartt ’86, Bret Easton Ellis ’86, Sally Mann ’73, Helen Frankenthaler ’49, Carol Channing ’42, and scores of other innovators began their work. It is here where modern dance was born. When you visit Bennington, you visit more than a campus. You enter a world where ideas are moving back and forth, where classrooms are alive with possibility and brewing with wonder, a 24-hour campus that never stops and rarely sleeps—a place that is moving on the fuel of perpetual inspiration and practice and passion. This is your invitation to experience it.

LOGO

CLEARSPACE The legibility and distinction of the college logotypes are very important. To ensure the logotype is highly visible, always separate it from its surroundings. The area of isolation, or minimum required clear space, surrounding all logotypes should be half the logotype’s height on all sides as shown below. Do not allow any other graphic elements to penetrate this area of isolation.

PALETTE

PRIMARY BRAND COLORS Bennington’s primary colors are inspired by the corten steel signs that make up the campus signage system. The bronze changes with age and exposure, a particularly apt expression of Bennington’s constantly-in-motion attributes.

SILVER Pantone® 877 CMYK 0/0/0/40 RGB 132/134/40

The College also draws heavily on crisp white as an abstraction of Bennington’s pedagogy of making—the rigor of a blank page. The use of white, especially with its raised lettering applications, stands out in an industry landscape that is busy with images, colors, and marketing-heavy messaging.

PHOTOGRAPHY At Bennington, students and faculty pursue work with an engagement and intensity rarely experienced in higher education. They work in collaboration, in process, in close proximity to their mentors and peers. Whether on campus or in the world, the Bennington community is active, bold, daring, and invested—our images must illustrate these vital characteristics.

EDITORIAL GUIDELINES l Photographs of people should be candid l Portraits should be engaged, not staged whenever possible; l To convey the readiness and rigor of a Bennington education imagery should show activity, especially activity related to making and work l Landscapes should be animated with work and people, whenever possible rather than barren and unpopulated l Photos of the classroom should frame the reciprocal, discussion-based approach where teachers and students are clearly engaged with each other or with the work l Photography should show a range of perspectives including the capture of people in group work or collaborations, as well as images that show solitary work and engagement with work l Images should show a context, have a subject or focus that is within a larger context whenever possible (i.e. be wary of tight crops that display a person, place or thing that could have been taken anywhere) l Photography should vary in place and subject matter and should always attempt to be inclusive of all races and genders whenever possible

THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS:

“Bennington sets aside the months of January and February as Field Work Term, which dates back to the College’s founding, in 1932. Most students leave campus for the duration—some go abroad—to work at places like television networks, pubishing houses, museums and nonprofit groups…. While internships are often related to a student’s academic work, this is not a requirement, because the College sees the experience as ‘not just doing a specific job’ but as a way of ‘studying what it is to work.’”

In so much that materials and identity should define our values, we have worked with diligence to show and tell that this is an education shaped by a student’s own interests; an education that emerges at the intersection of theory and practice; an education that readies students to thrive in a world without givens. With such deep distinction in education our materials must stand out and embody the engagement, wit, and innovation Bennington imbues.

To this end admissions materials are perhaps the most vivid conceptual rendering of the Bennington brand.

THE CLASS OF 2019 BENNINGTON READING LIST At Bennington we read—a lot. We don’t just read, we talk about what we read, we blog about what we read, and we are always curious about what everyone else is reading, which is why we asked you to suggest a book that we all should read.

YOU RECOMMENDED 685 BOOKS! Every single book suggested by an enrolled student will be added (if it is not already there) to Bennington’s Crossett Library collection. In fact, this is exactly how Crossett builds its collection—fulfilling book requests made by Bennington students, faculty, and staff.

In the lead piece of our suite of admissions materials, we use a crisp, clean white blind-embossed cover (inquiry folder) to signify a canvas of your own making; we leverage a crisp green to demonstrate a freshness that is valued in the making of new work; woven within materials that go to incoming students, we transition into a cream stock with bronze, silver, and green treatment that corresponds with the College’s overarching brand and threads the entirety of the College’s identity (see page 24).

the writing seminars THE LOW-RESIDENCY FORMAT

The low-residency format is responsive to the rhythms of the literary sensibility and the realities of modern life. It is an alternative time calculation, one that adapts to most work habits. Twice a year, in January and June, you and faculty come together on the Bennington campus. Here, away from the noise of the world, surrounded by the Green Mountains of southwestern Vermont, life happens differently. Ten days of literary intensity—workshops, readings, lectures by students, faculty, and visiting writers—are counter-balanced by walks, shared meals, music, film-screenings, even the occasional bonfire. As many alumni have testified: the experience becomes an ongoing resonance in the months and years that follow.

TUTORIALS (NON-RESIDENCY WORK)

During the six-month tutorial periods, you will devote at least 25 hours each week to writing and reading. You will work with four different teachers over the two years to complete the degree, exchanging regularly scheduled monthly packets of new creative work, revisions, critical responses to readings, and engaging in an ongoing craft centered converPAST VISITING sation with the instructor. Intense exposure to LECTURERS INCLUDE: different sensibilities breaks the comfort bubble and enlarges the reach of expression; nothing is Robert Creeley more salutary to the work.

Dear salutation,

The Bennington Fund brand draws on the College’s orange and red, with one color bleeding into another—a long line moving to the end of the page.

This identity was developed to convey donor’s ongoing and lasting impact at the College—that does not end.

In June 2014, as I sat under the tent for my Bennington Commencement ceremony and wondered about impending work and discoveries, faculty member Sherry Kramer delivered a thought provoking speech about uncertainty. In the year since, I’ve continued to question, to follow new paths, to reflect and navigate and improvise in the way that Bennington encourages.

Sherry’s speech resonated with me and with the rest of the Class of 2014 because it was about using Bennington as a jumping off point for the rest of our lives. As Sherry said: “The ground you make with your choices, with your commitment to your idea of value, is the only solid ground there has ever been, and it is yours to stake your claim on. To build the house of your life, the solid ground of a life spent in the service of what matters, with generosity of heart. That’s the ground you have been learning how to build here. That is the ground I have seen you create already. I have seen it in your commitment to your own work, your drive to make something that mattered, to understand the world in new and significant ways. I have seen your dedication to each other, as you have given your time and energies to help others find their path. I have seen students engaged in radical generosity here in a way that I have never seen in any other institution where I have taught.”

PT SANS

PT Sans regular PT Sans italic PT Sans bold PT Sans bold italic

A Bennington education is distinctive because it prepares us for an uncertain world; for me, it has helped me look ahead to find the solid ground on which to build a meaningful life. This preparation is one of the reasons I made my gift to Bennington this year.

With only 30 days left in Bennington’s fiscal year I ask you to join me today in making a gift to The Bennington Fund. You can also read Sherry’s entire speech online at bennington.edu/give (or make a gift online).

Please use the enclosed envelope to make your gift of any size before June 30.

COMMONS Commons is ripe with history: ee cummings gave his first public reading here; Martha Graham’s Letter to the World premiered on the third floor stage; Bob Dylan performed twice on that same stage; writers and thinkers of every stripe—from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Robert Frost to Buckminster Fuller to Shirley Jackson—gave talks and readings in the lounge. Today, Commons houses the dining hall, the post office, health services, and a public lounge equipped with computers, pianos, couches, fireplace, an ATM, and vending machines.

STUDENT CENTER A multi-use complex housing the Snack Bar, a student café, and game room. Garage-style doors open onto a terrace for open-air concerts and performances.

COMMONS LAWN Commons lawn offers one of southern Vermont’s most breathtaking views—dubbed the End of the World—this is where modern dance was born. It was the backdrop and gathering space for leading abstract expressionists in the 50s and 60s, and is the staging ground for contemporary bands performing during the College’s Sunfest music festival. The houses that border the lawn were home to Bret Easton Ellis ’86, Jonathan Lethem ’86, Donna Tartt ’86, Michael Pollan ’76, and Kathleen Norris ’69, among others.

CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PUBLIC ACTION (CAPA) Designed by award-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, the Center for the Advancement of Public Action (CAPA) is a state-ofthe-art, green, academic facility blending the studio of the artist, the laboratory of a scientist, the workshop of a craftsman, and the think tank of a policy wonk.

VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (VAPA) Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Visual and Performing Arts Center (VAPA) is not just a building but a hub of campus activity and work.

VAPA boasts studios of every kind, four performance theater spaces, and a screening room. Visit Usdan Gallery to view the latest exhibitions.

THE SECRET GARDEN A magical outdoor performance space and sitting area, the Secret Garden was where Buckminster Fuller erected the first model of his Dymaxion House.

DEANE CARRIAGE BARN A performance and exhibition space, the Deane Carriage Barn was where Jackson Pollack held his first retrospective in 1952.

JENNINGS MUSIC BUILDING Thought to be the inspiration for Shirley Jackson’s House on Haunted Hill—Jennings today provides fertile ground for music-making at the College.

The building houses a robust music library, recording studio, as well as several classrooms and music faculty offices.

Bennington College Local THE BARN W.H. Auden, Peter Drucker, Erich Fromm, Howard Nemerov, and Theodore Roethke all kept faculty offices here.

Today it continues to house faculty offices, classrooms, and most administrative offices. It also is home to Barn East Gallery, an exhibition space for student work, and the Bookstore, where you can pick up Bennington gear.

The Bennington & Downtown Guide reframes and simplifies offerings in town and surrounding areas, as well as brief histories of the campus. It is distributed to a wide array of visitors, as well as to first year and transfer students upon entering Bennington.

FIELD WORK TERM (FWT) Every winter during the sevenweek Field Work Term, student pursue jobs and internships around the world.

Students immerse themselves professionally and receive evaluations from their employers. After four FWTs, Bennington graduates have a sense of what they want to

do for work—and the résumé to do it.

EVALUATIONS All students receive narrative evaluations from their teachers at the end of fall and spring terms. These appraise their work and summarize their progress. In addition, students may request letter grades and a GPA. All requests for letter grades must be submitted within the first two weeks of the term.

HOUSES & HOUSE CHAIRS Bennington dorms are called houses, to honor their nature as respectful, comfortable, coed, studentrun communities. Every house has its own character, and students can choose to stay in one or move around during

their time here. Student resident advisors called House Chairs liaise between the administration and the students, address student concerns, serve as discreet counselors to residents, and generally help their housemates feel at home.

DID YOU KNOW? • American philosopher John Dewey, whose views on experiential learning influenced the founding of Bennington in 1932, served as a trustee.

• F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final novel, The Last Tycoon, is narrated by a fictional Bennington student.

• Ralph Ellison gave his first public talk at Bennington.

• Two alumnae won Pulitzers in 2014: Donna Tartt ’86 in Fiction for The Goldfinch and Megan Marshall ’75 in Biography for Margaret Fuller: A New American Life. These awards bring the total Pulitzers won by Bennington alumni and faculty to 10.

• Bennington alumni include Carol Channing ’42, Harvey Lichtenstein ’53, Liz Lerman ’69, Sally Mann ’73, Michael Pollan ’76, Jonathan Lethem ’86, Peter Dinklage ’91, and Kiran Desai ’96.

• The Bennington faculty has included W.H. Auden, Martha Graham, Peter Drucker, Bernard Malamud, John Gardner, Camille Paglia, Milford Graves, Mary Oliver, Mansour Farhang, Scott Lehrer, and Liz Deschenes.

FIRST TERM The Plan Process begins in discussions with the faculty advisor and first-year advisor, who work with students to lay a solid foundation for successfully pursuing their education. Students’ initial, formal Plan-related task is the writing of a first-term essay. This 3- to 5-page document centers on their progress in coursework, possibilities for Field Work Term (FWT), directions for their second term of work, and options for future studies.

SECOND TERM Students continue to meet regularly with their faculty advisors and first-year advisor to discuss their experiences, including an assessment and reflection of their first Field Work Term and expectations for the coming term.

THIRD TERM Students put together an educational Plan for the next five terms. While it is up to the students to explain, pursue, and defend their Plan goals, its progress unfolds under the close guidance of the faculty. Students are encouraged to think of their Plan as a collaboration—an ongoing conversation with their teachers, faculty advisor, and Plan committee. It is during this term that they assign a working title to their Plan, the purpose of which is to identify a preliminary way to unify a theme or question driving their inquiry.

They also identify the primary areas of study—for example, philosophy, biology, composition, directing— that will be central to the intellectual foundation for their work.

FOURTH TERM The main task of students’ fourth (and fifth) terms is to proceed toward the realization of their Plan's aims, working closely with their faculty advisor and other appropriate faculty members. Students’ FWT reflective work should, by this point in a Bennington career, increasingly make connections to their overall Plan. At this stage, students start taking courses that prepare them for and engage them in advanced work.

1 3 6 FIFTH TERM At the start of the fifth term, students request individual Plan meetings with each member of their Plan committee to prepare for the upcoming Plan progress and advanced work meeting in the sixth term.

Bennington: A Parent’s Guide B

Bennington College Transit Authority

SIXTH TERM Students submit their Plan progress and advanced work essay in the middle of the term. At this moment, Plan titles are confirmed and students reflect on their successes, acknowledge the challenges encountered, and detail any curricular adjustments.

SEVENTH TERM Working with a faculty advisor and other faculty members overseeing their advanced work, students use this term to refine skills and make clear their competence by mastering increasingly sophisticated subject matter.

EIGHTH TERM Students conclude their work at Bennington in their senior reflection essay. In this essay, students reflect on their intellectual and creative growth throughout the Plan Process.

THE BENNINGTON MAGAZINE: EDITORIAL STRATEGY

EDITORIAL DRIVERS l Establish a strong point of view and high editorial bar that measures stories against their alignment with the College’s singularity and ongoing engagement with ideas; in every issue, the magazine seeks to make the best case for our value and values l Pursue brand-reinforcing themes that can be thoughtfully unpacked in the fullness of an issue and assign loose cohesion for the reader l Seed content for external media outlets to easily develop, adapt, or use in future reporting The National Conversation: A feature-length story that positions Bennington as a leader within national conversations; by approaching these stories with the seriousness and journalistic rigor that would be applied to storytelling in national media, we can begin to use the magazine to build and form relationships with experts in the field, thought-leaders, and media influencers; the aim is to use the telling of these stories to strengthen relationships with journalists and seed future media appearances

Informing Opinions: Opinion pieces written by college experts (faculty, alumni, students, staff) that take on hot topics and issues in state and national conversations; these pieces should have a well informed point of view and consider an issue from a new or unexpected angle; ideally, this content could be placed in media outlets beyond the magazine Headliners: A brief capture of alumni, faculty, or students making headlines (major awards or nationally reviewed albums, films, theater openings, and other work), followed by a longer form story that unpacks one of the headlining achievements Bookshelf: A feature of nationally reviewed, recently published poetry, fiction, and non-fiction

Assignment: A knock-out assignment that speaks to the unusual intellectualism and challenges students are invited to engage with in the classroom—assignments that have the potential to resonate with all readers and can live beyond the context of the classroom; this content encourages reader engagement by inviting readers to share their response to the assignments online in appropriate social channels #bennington: Snapshots from Bennington’s most lively, interesting, and narrative social spaces that reflect a clear point of view Briefs: One-page quotes that capture a universal story and reflects our values; these and the cover are the most organically shared elements of the magazine—Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr—and are designed for that purpose

Faculty Notes: Faculty work and news, updates and honors In conversation: Two-page conversation with a faculty member supported by extended audio and or video interviews 43

Snapshots of our social media channels

SVEN BIRKERTS—director of Bennington’s Master of Fine Arts Writing program—is perhaps best known for The Gutenberg Elegies, a critical exam of the future of reading in the digital age. He’s made something of a name for himself as literature’s favorite analogue advocate. So it was a surprise to many to find @svenbirkerts on Twitter this year.

His following has steadily grown as users discover Birkerts’ real-time dialogue with the medium, and digital world itself. @svenbirkets is funny, vulnerable, smart, ironically cutting, authentic— qualities that speak broadly to literary and digital types. Here’s a taste, but follow him for the full dish.

eware the subject line that reads: QUICK QUESTION. l one wants to release one’s personality into this small space—like setting a pig loose in the back of a station wagon—but decorum prevails. l questionnaire: when someone younger draws a blank at a reference you’ve made, what do you register first—their ignorance or your age? l The writing mind needs a Zamboni that can roll out between sessions to make smooth all that you’ve hacked up trying to get the words right. l Digital DSM sub-category, the deja-tweet: Did I already say this? Or did somebody else? Does it matter? If it doesn’t, then what?

donor report

Music faculty member Allen Shawn on getting out of music writing ruts

“The last fiscal year was, once again, evidence of the generosity and commitment of Bennington’s donors. As you will see in the pages that follow, the College received an astounding $9,521,171 million in gifts from 2,733 donors this past fiscal year, exceeding our goals as we have in each of the previous five years.”

Where the money comes from

Where the money goes

Dear Bennington supporters, Since its founding, Bennington College has pursued its vision with a boldness and brilliance that has become its hallmark. The past 25 years have not only been a dramatic example of that pursuit but also have ushered in a period of unprecedented growth and stability. This is due in large part to the consistent and expanding support of people who believe in the innovative and audacious founding ideals of this College and look forward to their ongoing and lively interpretation.

The last fiscal year was, once again, evidence of the generosity and commitment of Bennington’s donors.

As you will see in the pages that follow, the College received an astounding $9,521,171 million in gifts from 2,733 donors this past fiscal year, exceeding our goals as we have in each of the previous five years.

And from every group of supporters—from alumni and parents, to students, faculty, and staff—giving increased. All told, $1,510,729 in annual gifts to The Bennington Fund and $8,010,442 in major gifts and special project and endowment gifts provided the support needed to sustain and enrich every aspect of the College: an outstanding faculty of teacher-practitioners; scholarship support that surpasses that of most liberal arts colleges; innovations in the curriculum; and, of vital importance, the restoration, preservation, and enhancement of the extraordinary campus that provides the setting and scene for the Bennington experience.

We are thrilled at the solid financial footing on which we will begin the next chapter of the Bennington story, and we are hopeful that this energy and enthusiasm will continue apace as we round the next exciting corner.

My sincerest gratitude, again, to each and every one of you who has so generously given to this bold and brilliant place. You are among the chief reasons Bennington College shines.

FEATURE STORY A story about how to start a movement by Briee Della Rocca

I

How do you teach something that we don’t have a real language for— that we can’t understand entirely?

Well, I think of teaching in terms of shocking the students.

I really believe that our culture is so barren that it’s quite likely that until they have gotten to college, students have never been shocked at how great art can be. When I put my teaching hat on, I’m there to try to somehow or other give them the experience of seeing what went into the great works and that they’re not going to necessarily easily find them in our society, because there’s no conscience guiding society. Society is like capitalism; it’s guided by what works at that particular instant. There’s no overriding conscience behind it that says, “All kids deserve to hear Beethoven.”

I feel obliged to try to compensate for this. That’s my responsibility. I’m there to help the students realize that

it’s possible to do something of real value, not just transient value. I’m there to reveal the amount of thought and dedication that went into wonderful pieces of music, and the selflessness that went into them.

That’s my true philosophy behind teaching. I don’t mean “shock” in a horrifying way, but I want people to be awakened to what’s possible and also to realize how hard it is to grasp it, or achieve it. This is the opposite of what students might think Bennington is. On the one hand you could say, hey, you have this inside you or all you need to do is work hard and you’ll get there, but in a way I’m not saying that. I have no idea who’s going to do what in their later lives. I don’t know which of the students is capable of this or that, but I do believe that everybody should encounter great work. I feel that knowing what has been done by others inspires and empowers us to do whatever it is we have in us to do. B

t was during a song writing class that Allen Shawn noticed something. All of his students were writing songs to their own lyrics, and they were always about love. Shawn was looking for a way to get the students out of their song writing ruts—whatever they were. So he composed an assignment that had his students write a song to Emily Dickinson’s poem, I felt a Funeral, in my Brain. “It was one of the best assignments,” he remembers. “The students took it in all different directions.” Some wrote it with humor, some wrote heart-wrenching pieces, some found a completely different style for their work. Shawn was surprised.

“I didn’t know what to expect but what resulted was amazing. It helped the students to break through.”

Bathed in light, drenched in compositions, two pieces stand out in Allen Shawn’s Jennings office: A CD of his compositions, performed by Julia Bartha, and his recently published Leonard Bernstein biography.

letter posted online. Noting that the window for public comment on the Keystone XL was about to close, Hansen encouraged all concerned citizens to log their discontent. “If this project gains approval, it will become exceedingly difficult to control the tar sands monster,” he wrote. Extracting and burning the tar sands, Hansen argued, would push global warming well past the point of no return. If the Keystone XL was built, Hansen concluded, “it is essentially game over.”

Many climate activists took note and got to work. Bill McKibben and his 350.org creatively publicized the otherwise mundane process of permitting a new pipeline. Progressive online news sites like ProPublica and Inside Climate News turned their investigative reporting towards the Keystone XL, uncovering embarrassing details in regulatory documents and corporate filings that never anticipated such scrutiny. Through their work and many others, pipelines are now part of our political conversations. My local NPR station now regularly covers the Addison Natural Gas Project in Vermont, whose proposed pipeline has inspired a new kind of civil disobedience: the knit-in.

Marching down Sixth Avenue during the People’s Climate March, the Keystone XL was widely jeered and vilified. And yet in so much of that spirited antipathy, the physical pipeline and the small rural communities it touches seemed to matter less than the planetary crisis the Keystone XL

has been asked to stand in for. Climate change trumps local context in orienting so much of the discontent around oil pipelines. For many of the activists I spoke with on that September afternoon, the Keystone XL was not so much a shortcut on an existing pipeline system as it was the opening skirmish in the looming struggle to rein in global warming. Several I spoke with could not even identify the states the pipeline would pass through.

It is notable that the express goal in this rising climate activism around pipelines is not to hijack key energy chokepoints but to trip up the tidy image of hydrocarbon infrastructure as “safe, silent, and unseen,” to borrow a popular industry description of pipelines. In the People’s Climate March, protesters creatively entangled Keystone and other pipelines in narrow conduits of profit, broad patterns of destruction, and the specter of a curtailed future. The emerging mantra might be: Don’t seize control, seize the implications. In this, oil pipelines are being confronted more as ecologies of harm than as buried metal tubes. While the relations of consequence being pinned on the pipelines exceed the communities immediately adjacent to them—as evidenced in both the ambivalence of many towns along the Keystone XL route and the absence of those very communities in climate activism— such relations have nonetheless given these pipelines a new scale of transparency. Oil pipelines have become, well, visible. And in that rising visibility, petro-networks are being opened up to new forms of accountability and refusal. B

tal movement in the United States gained moral and regulatory force in the outraged response to industrial disasters, from oil spills to toxic releases. Climate change, in contrast, demands public action not in reaction to an acute disaster but in anticipation of the diffuse disaster to come: a slow unraveling of the planet’s climate.

Although residents of the Maldives, Philippines and coastal New Jersey might disagree, for many of us climate change does not yet have the density of a deeply felt event. As novelist Zadie Smith points out in her essay, “Elegy for a Country’s Seasons,” climate change is a disaster that we have a “scientific and ideological language for” but “hardly any intimate words.”

How do you mobilize around the turgid prose of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report? How do you protest the predicted event? Where do you even begin?

A few years ago, a modest starting point in the fight against climate change emerged: fossil fuel infrastructure. Although neatly sidestepping the more consequential question of domestic consumption, petroinfrastructure nonetheless offered a starting point for those incensed by the lack of action on climate change despite mounting evidence of its reality. In 2011, this frustration rather potently aligned with the Keystone XL permitting process. It was NASA Scientist James Hansen who first pointed out this convergence in a
