Waste: A Critique of Economic Ontology

“Creative destruction” is one of the fundamental philosophical principles of current social and discursive, respectively non-discursive, changes. A concept that connects the vertical axis of disparities, that is, capital, credit, and labour markets, with the horizontal, such as language, nationality, religion, gender, etc. This dissertation project searches for the moments and narratives of “creative destruction” by questioning the notion of “waste” as inevitable human doubles. “Waste” as a dual-faced special entity that constantly emerges as both a problem and a solution. “Waste” as something you want to get rid of, but it is by no means worthless. The project attempts to distinguish between the analysis of “waste” as a political-artistic concept and the analysis of commodities and capital by connecting them to two concepts of history, namely continuous and discontinuous history, and accordingly attempts to treat “waste” not only as a commodity, but to be problematized as a specific reasonable moment of the commodity. What is meant by “the end of the idea of continuity”? Which analytical possibilities does the hypothesis of a society without waste offer us? These are some of the questions to be explored in this dissertation project and further as an interdisciplinary research.
