   Table-ronde Modernity and Waste, 15 septembre 2007     Participants: Jennifer Gabrys, William Kupinse (moderator), Robin Nagle, Elizabeth Royte, Susan Strasser   &#34;Garbage has to be the poem of our time,&#34; writes the late poet A. R. Ammons in his book-length poem, adding that &#34;garbage is spiritual, believable enough / to get our attention, getting in the way.&#34; The roundtable seeks to push this conception even further, considering waste as both metaphor and material. The discussion will employ an expansive definition of waste&#8212;from the physical detritus of consumer culture, to the abjection of marginal populations, to the critical dismissal of mass-market cultural productions, to the psychoanalytic processes of repression and sublimation. In keeping with the Center's emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches, the roundtable will bring together participants from various disciplines whose work intersects in significant ways with the concept of waste.
