Prof. Hervé Corvellec proposes a perspective on the much discussed question of the Anthropocene, the age of the human. He argues that the Anthropocene is the age of waste because converging forces have made possible normalization of waste and habituation of wasting.
Corvellec suggest that the social sciences and humanities have a potential to unfold the normalization of wasting practices, and offer possibilities for creating counter-movement for de-normalizing of waste. He means that the counter-movement is vital for challenging the accumulation of waste within the current, destructive economical structures.
