More about the book

The book explores the concept of manufactured waste and the notion of "remaindered humans" through the lens of twentieth-century avant-garde literature. Rachele Dini analyzes how waste is perceived as a process that can be interrupted, drawing on new materialism and waste studies. The initial focus is on three Surrealist texts by Giorgio de Chirico, André Breton, and Mina Loy, highlighting their critiques of capitalism and the implications of waste and re-use in their works.
