Global Garbage examines the ways in which garbage, in its diverse
forms, is being produced, managed, experienced, imagined,
circulated, concealed, and aestheticized in contemporary urban
environments and across different creative and cultural practices.
The book explores the increasingly complex relationship between
globalization and garbage in locations such as Beirut, Detroit,
Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Manchester, Naples, Paris, Rio de
Janeiro and Tehran. In particular, the book examines how, and under
what conditions, contemporary imaginaries of excess, waste, and
abandonment perpetuate - but also sometimes counter - the
imbalances of power that are frequently associated with the global
metropolitan condition. This interdisciplinary collection will
appeal to the fields of anthropology, architecture, film and media
studies, geography, urban studies, sociology, and cultural
analysis.
