Trash Objects

The defining qualities of trash can change from moment to moment.  Who gets to discard detritus, and who is thrown into to the garbage can? Whether referring to cast-off material or undesirable aesthetics and affects, “trash” is designed, regulated, and disposed of by social hierarchies. Consumer culture manufactures trash–both the literal waste that lingers in landfills and the lowbrow schlock produced by executives in corporate boardrooms. But can trash also refuse Western power structures and the white, masculinist heteronorms inherent to them?

The 116th annual conference of the Pacific Ancient & Modern Language Association (PAMLA) will be held at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington, from Friday, November 9, to Sunday, November 11.
