Living Waste - Joke Brouwer; Sjoerd van Tuinen eds.

If we as human beings cannot come to terms with waste and make something positive out of it, then it may just be our end. Of all the things we can do with waste, making it disappear is the one thing we cannot do. Without a shift in the habits of production, consumption, and distribution, the repression of waste is not only impossible but also undesirable. As capitalist processes have demonstrated, it is the network of our habits surrounding waste and its production that requires reconfiguring. This can occur in the rifts of production cycles and systemic overflow. ‘Living Waste’ offers an in-depth examination of how our relationship with waste is as important as its relationship with us.
