Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and
perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness,
Breakthrough argues that repair is both a process and also a
consequence which is sought out-an attempt to extend the life of
things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings, and
leftovers. This volume develops an open-ended combination of
empirical and theoretical questions including: What does it mean to
claim that something is broken? At what point is something broken
repairable? What are the social relationships that take place
around repair? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies
have?
