Zusammenfassung:"Globalisation and neo-liberalism have seen the rise of new international powers, increasingly interlinked economies and mass urbanisation. The internet, mobile communications and mass migration have transformed lives around the planet. For some, this has been positive and liberating, but it has also been destructive of settled communities and ways of living, ecologies, economies and livelihoods, cultural values, political programmes and identities. This book uses the concept of waste to explore and critique the destructive impact of globalisation and neo-liberalism. Doing so opens up new ways of thinking about and responding to the present circumstance in ways that move beyond both the populist politics of fear and protection that are increasingly evident in Europe and the US and the idea that destructive change is inevitable or unstoppable and must simply be accommodated. Our work illustrates how creative responses to the wastelands of globalisation can establish alternative narratives of hope."--Provided by publisher
