What happens to people, places and objects that do not fit the
ordering regimes and progressive narratives of modernity?
Conventional understandings imply that progress leaves such things
behind, and excludes them as though they were valueless waste. This
volume uses the concept of indeterminacy to explore how conditions
of exclusion and abandonment may give rise to new values, as well
as to states of despair and alienation. Drawing upon ethnographic
research about a wide variety of contexts, the chapters here
explore how indeterminacy is created and experienced in
relationship to projects of classification and progress.
