Waste as a Critique reveals how waste in its manifold variety provides an innovative starting point for interrogating 21st century society. Drawing on growing interdisciplinary concerns for discards, it contextualizes waste in cultural, symbolic, historical, spatial, and political forms.

The contributions presented demonstrate the potential for waste as a revelatory lens through which the social world may be critically re-examined and assessed. This collection informs a novel critical waste-based epistemology from which to challenge ingrained assumptions, categorical inconsistencies, and unconsidered outcomes in social practice and theory.

Herv? Corvellec has over 20 years of experience in interdisciplinary research environments, during which he has conducted research about railroad planning, risk in public transportation, and wind power siting. This general interest in infrastructures has guided him to focus on the governance, planning, and organizing of waste management; wasting behaviours and practices; waste ethics; waste narratives and discourses; and social-scientific theories of waste. He has published his research about waste and the circular economy in waste journals, as well as journals within the fields of accounting, cultural geography, management, organization theory, and social anthropology.
