Abstract

Orpana’s graphic novel Gasoline Dreams offers critical perspectives on especially the psychoanalysis of consumption of oil that reveals the illusionary nature of the pleasures and excitements of automobility and the industries that support it. The book delivers alternative imaginings by which readers can better understand the wide range of theoretical methods by which dissent can be formulated.
