A World Laid Waste?: Responding to the Social, Cultural and Political Consequences of Globalisation: summary, description and annotation

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 edited volume uses the concept of waste to explore and critique the destructive impact of globalisation and neo-liberalism. By bringing to bear the distinct perspectives of sociologists of class, religion and culture; anthropologists concerned with infrastructures, material waste and energy; and analysts from accounting and finance exploring financialization and supply chains, this collection explores how creative responses to the wastelands of globalisation can establish alternative, at times fragile, narratives of hope. Responding to the tendency in contemporary public and academic discourse to resort to a language of the laid to waste or left behind to make sense of social and cultural change, the authors of this volume focus on the practices and rhetorics of waste in a range of different empirical settings to reveal the spaces for political action and social imagination that are emerging even in times of polarisation, uncertainty and disillusionment. This inter-disciplinary approach, developed through a decade of research in the ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC), provides a distinctive perspective on the ways in which people in very different social and cultural contexts are negotiating the destructive and creative possibilities of recent political and economic change.

The Culture, Economy and the Social series is committed to innovative contemporary, comparative and historical work on the relations between social, cultural and economic change. It publishes empirically-based research that is theoretically informed, that critically examines the ways in which social, cultural and economic change is framed and made visible, and that is attentive to perspectives that tend to be ignored or side-lined by grand theorising or epochal accounts of social change. The series addresses the diverse manifestations of contemporary capitalism, and considers the various ways in which the `social, `the cultural and `the economic are apprehended as tangible sites of value and practice. It is explicitly comparative, publishing books that work across disciplinary perspectives, cross-culturally, or across different historical periods.
The series is actively engaged in the analysis of the different theoretical traditions that have contributed to the development of the `cultural turn with a view to clarifying where these approaches converge and where they diverge on a particular issue. It is equally concerned to explore the new critical agendas emerging from current critiques of the cultural turn: those associated with the descriptive turn for example. Our commitment to interdisciplinarity thus aims at enriching theoretical and methodological discussion, building awareness of the common ground that has emerged in the past decade, and thinking through what is at stake in those approaches that resist integration to a common analytical model.

Niall Cunningham is a Lecturer in Geography at Durham University, having previously been a research fellow in the Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC) at the University of Manchester. His work engages with the spatial and statistical analysis of historical and social change, in particular in the possibilities (and limitations) of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for analysing the geographies of socio-economic and ethnoreligious exclusion. His work has largely explored these themes in the Irish context, with a focus on Belfast as a key global laboratory for analysing the intersection of issues of ethnicity, segregation, inequality, urban materiality and conflict. He was also a member of the international and interdisciplinary team working on the BBCs Great British Class Survey project and has been author or co-author of a number of influential pieces on social class, including the recent Penguin volume
