![]() Studying waste through abjection means beingcognizant of the ways in which something beyond meaning (the extra discursive) is continually influential in how we make meaning. Thus, the abject resides in the liminal space between that which is expressible through language and that which radically resists expression. In that way, abjection is set in motion whenever we try to make meaning of the world and ourselves. Abjection is therefore caught in up in the production of the boundaries of peoples’ bodies, societal norms, and the self. Furthering the insight of Douglas that dirt is not an essential characteristic of objects but is produced through its ambiguity and its subsequent inability to be assimilated into existing socio-cultural categories and systems, Kristeva explains how the constant process of keeping the unclassifiable at bay is a productive act. While abjection theory has been used in various ways across the social sciences and humanities, it emerges from the psychoanalytic work of Julia Kristeva.ĭrawing on a seminal text in Discard Studies, Mary Douglas’ Purity and Danger (1966), Julia Kristeva’s foundational book The Powers of Horror (1982) develops the theory of abjection through literary, psychoanalytic, and anthropological works.

The greyed out terms in the chart are a small sample of an expanded future list. Waste and pollution are the material externalities of complex cultural, economic, and political systems, and solutions need to address these wider systems rather than fall to technological or moral fixes that deal with symptoms rather than origins of problems. Our task is to trouble the assumptions, premises and popular mythologies of waste. This list is critical in the sense that it comes out of methods in the humanities and social sciences that contextualize the problems and systems that are not readily apparent to the invested but casual observer. There a chance that he could use bone since he is also a skeleton monster.The Discard Studies Compendium is a list of critical key terms. In the past few years there has been both a resurgence of approaches to studying waste and wasting as well as an interest in the potential of waste to build interdisciplinary bridges of relevance to pressing questions of our time.

Papyrus feels great remorse and disappointment towards Cross after having been exterminated by him in the past.

In Timeline II, Papyrus’ hand can be seen on a saddened Frisk’s shoulder near Sans who had been murdered by XGaster.
