Description - Waste as a Critique by Hervé Corvellec

Waste as a Critique reveals how waste in its manifold variety provides an innovative starting point for interrogating 21st century society. Drawing on growing interdisciplinary concerns for discards, it contextualizes waste in cultural, symbolic, historical, spatial, and political forms. The contributions presented demonstrate the potential for waste as a revelatory lens through which the social world may be critically re-examined and
assessed. This collection informs a novel critical waste-based epistemology from which to challenge ingrained assumptions, categorical inconsistencies, and unconsidered outcomes in social practice and
theory.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.
