Скачать или смотреть Elaborating Waste (2017–18)

This project brings together literary and social scientific analysis to explore how capitalist society values and re-values its own wasteful byproducts. Over the last three centuries, capitalist growth has relied, not only on the apparent abundance of the Earth’s natural resources but also on the ability of human innovators to transform waste products into raw materials for new ventures. If waste has been understood as a form of equivalence that is capable of endless repurposing, Hannah Burnett (PhD student, Anthropology) and Allison Turner (PhD candidate, English) seek to interrogate this view by representing waste’s own residues—the material and affective singularities that have resisted easy conveyance from one context to the next. Together, they will create a temporary exhibition that includes “specimens” of waste from a variety of sites, as well as an accompanying catalogue that draws out the unique stories of each.
