商品描述
This book offers an updated version of Garbology (Archaeology of Garbage), a subfield of archaeology that critically examines modern waste and consumerism. It weaves academic rigor with the author's personal narratives and experiences in the field. The work contains facts and evidence from multiple communities and considers the author's journey from being a politically marginalized professor in Iran to co-founding a garbology-centered startup in Sweden.
This perspective offers a compelling narrative, accessible not just to scholars but to anyone seeking a new way to explore and discuss modern civilization's wicked problems. What distinguishes this work is its practical approach: it not only critiques consumer behaviors but also offers actionable solutions through an archaeological lens. With detailed case studies, the author positions garbology as a transformative tool for grassroots activism and social change. Ultimately, A New Garbology Manifesto serves as a powerful call to action, highlighting the deep connections between waste, socio-economic inequality, and environmental justice. It equips scholars, policymakers, and NGOs with practical strategies to tackle hyperconsumerism and climate challenges across both the Global South and North.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了《垃圾考古學》（Garbology）的更新版本，這是一個批判性檢視現代廢物和消費主義的考古學子領域。它將學術嚴謹性與作者在該領域的個人敘事和經歷交織在一起。這部作品包含來自多個社區的事實和證據，並考慮了作者從伊朗一位政治邊緣化的教授到在瑞典共同創辦一個以垃圾考古學為中心的初創公司的旅程。
這種觀點提供了一個引人入勝的敘事，不僅對學者可及，對任何尋求探索和討論現代文明棘手問題的新方式的人來說也同樣可及。這部作品的特點在於其實用的方式：它不僅批評消費行為，還通過考古學的視角提供可行的解決方案。通過詳細的案例研究，作者將垃圾考古學定位為基層行動主義和社會變革的轉型工具。最終，《新垃圾考古學宣言》（A New Garbology Manifesto）作為一個強有力的行動呼籲，突顯了廢物、社會經濟不平等和環境正義之間的深刻聯繫。它為學者、政策制定者和非政府組織提供了實用的策略，以應對全球南北方的超消費主義和氣候挑戰。
