Waste is a key category for understanding cultural value. It is not
just the 'bad stuff' we dispose of; it is material we constantly
struggle to redeem. Cultures seem to spend as much energy
reclassifying negativity as they do on establishing the negative
itself. The huge tertiary sector devoted to waste management
converts garbage into money, while ecological movements continue to
stress human values and 'the natural.' But the problems waste poses
are never simply economic or environmental. The international
contributors to this collection ask us to pause and consider the
complex ways in which value is created and destroyed. Their diverse
approaches of ethics, philosophy, cultural studies, and politics
are at the forefront of a new field of 'ecohumanites.'
