Product Description
This book explores the philosophical, social and aesthetic implications of twentieth-century America's obsession with eliminating waste. Through interdisciplinary engagement with fiction and popular culture, the book traces theway this obsession finds expression in powerful social forces (e.g., the drive to consume conspicuously; the Progressive-era campaign to manage scientifically; the current demand to 'reduce, reuse, recycle'), and it shows such forces are governed by an idealism that links proper treatment of waste with the promise of salvation. Fictional texts - Upton Sinclair's naturalist novel The Jungle ; the post-modern writingsof Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, and Mark Leyner; David Chase'scontemporary TV series The Sopranos - illustrate how the American rage to capitalize on waste, by flaunting it or by filtering it, is underwritten by theological anxiety about a virtually unthinkable otherness resistant to proper philosophical treatment. The Waste Fix maps a cultural history of anxiety about virtual waste and examines the dangers inherent in compensatory efforts to seize on 'real' waste in the name of total social and ontological fitness.It also argues that certain post-modern narratives represent an important alternative to such totalizing strategies. The narratives dramatize how waste gets fetishized in a variety of genres (surrealism, modernist minimalism, noir fiction, the disaster novel, the mob drama), and they deconstruct the logic governing these genres in order to begin thinking about waste otherwise. ...
