Produktbeschreibung

This volume engages with the ambivalence embedded in and materialized by waste, its ambiguous ownership, and temporalities, interrogating popular and normative notions of waste and discard, and offering insight into forms of ecology built around waste - in particular with reference to the Italian and, more broadly, the Mediterranean area.
