Comment: It needs a little work on NPOV, and some more content. Geardona (talk to me?) 02:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Discard studies is an interdisciplinary field of research that focuses on the study of waste, pollution, and the concept of "discard" in various social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts. Scholars in this field examine the processes of production, consumption, and disposal, as well as the social and cultural implications of discarding objects, materials, and ideas.[1]
Subjects[edit]
Discard studies encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Waste Management: Examining how societies manage and dispose of waste, including the infrastructure, policies, and technologies involved.[2]
- Environmental Justice: Investigating the unequal distribution of environmental burdens, such as waste sites and pollution, and how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected.[3]
- Consumerism and Consumption Patterns: Analyzing the relationships between consumption habits, planned obsolescence, and the generation of waste.[4]
- Material Culture: Exploring the social and cultural significance of objects and materials, both in their production and disposal.[5]
- Political Economy of Waste: Investigating the economic structures that contribute to the generation and management of waste, including the influence of industries and policies.[6]
- Historical Perspectives: Tracing the historical development of waste practices and attitudes toward discards in different societies.[7]
