Climate Commons Fall 2018 Workshop
\n<\/strong>(In partnership with the Institute for the Comparative Study of Literature, Art, and Culture)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Waste and Time<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ICSLAC Seminar Room, St Patricks, 201D
\n<\/strong>Thursdays, 20 Sept, 4 and 18 Oct, 1 Nov, 3-4:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guest Facilitator: <\/strong>Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou, \u00c9cole des hautes \u00e9tudes en sciences sociales, Paris (Visiting Scholar, Carleton University)<\/p>\n

Waste never really disappears. Waste accumulates and persists in the environment and as a result, introduces complex temporalities. In industrial societies of mass consumption, different types of waste are produced on a daily basis, and demand extended storage or disposal solutions. In this regard, it stands among the major environmental concerns of our time that confront humans with inhuman and non-human factors, by its temporality, non-locality and evasive nature. Scientific research around waste management may attempt to find definitive solutions (e.g. deep geological disposals for nuclear waste), but some types of waste resist any solution, and fail to be contained, determinate, or calculable (Hird, 2012).<\/p>\n

Even though waste is construed as a material testimony from the past, at the same time, it projects us into the (deep) future, and hence poses additional questions: is waste a mere product<\/em> of time or is it a producer<\/em> of time? How does, for instance, nuclear waste\u2019s inhuman temporality reframe ecological time? More generally, how are discarded things dispersed in a spatial and temporal sense? Departing from Mary Douglas\u2019s influential theorisation of waste as \u2018\u2018matter out of place\u2019\u2019 in Purity and Danger<\/em> (1966), this workshop fleshes out questions around waste’s temporal natures through more recent scholarship; we will reread Douglas\u2019s position through authors that stress the intricate entanglements of waste\u2019s materiality and temporality for a future-oriented environmental thought.<\/p>\n

Each session will last 1.5 hours: the first part will be devoted to the reading material. Throughout the second part, we hope to confront theory with case studies from the literature, the arts and politics. We highly encourage participants to bring examples to the table that could be relevant to the questions discussed and could operate as an impulse for the collective discussion as well as an opportunity to share research (although this is not a prerequisite for participation to the group).<\/p>\n

The group will be accompanied by the screening of Containment<\/a><\/em> (2015), a documentary on the legacy of Cold War nuclear waste by Peter Galison and Robb Moss.<\/p>\n
