More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of waste and capitalism, the book analyzes how twentieth-century avant-garde writers critique manufactured waste and marginalized individuals. Rachele Dini employs concepts from new materialism and waste studies to view waste as a process open to disruption. The exploration begins with Surrealist works by Giorgio de Chirico, André Breton, and Mina Loy, highlighting their innovative approaches to themes of re-use and the implications of waste in society.
