• Engages with the emerging interdisciplinary field of waste and discard studies that center"discards"and their cognates to provide novel approaches to the study of social life and material and technological cultures. Examines the dynamics of wasting, discarding, remaindering, and tracing as fundamental logics of contemporary life and knowledge production. Explores these dynamics to reformulate the study of labor value and property, built environments and urban ecologies, reckoning and futurity, statecraft and warcraft, design repair and maintenance, sensory experience and knowledge making, political and creative action, identity and exclusion, and colonial and postcolonial power.
