Course Description:
When you throw something away, where is away? And how does it come to seem appropriate to throw something away in the first place? In this first year seminar, we will examine the production of trash from two perspectives. First, we will explore how we have come to rely on items made to be discarded, and what happens to such items after we put them in the garbage. We will also explore how we come to think of objects as trash, and how ideas about unworthiness and disposability can get attached not just to objects but also to people and groups. |
