Review :

"The book deals with the construction of significance and the negative relation of a system to its own (unthought) foundation. The topic is as important in theoretical terms as it is in practical terms, and it leads us to question the opposition between such conventional frames of reference. This book intersects with so many other established disciplines—literary criticism, anthropology, art history, cultural studies, philosophy—and intervenes not just thematically but in their very construction as disciplines." — Roy Sellars, University of Southern Denmark, Kolding

"Waste-Site Stories adds up to a tremendously useful compendium that will give scholars and students an easy, instantaneous footing in the research area of memory, loss, socially-engineered oblivion, the culture of wastefulness and collecting whose functioning this book helps us understand." — Didier Maleuvre, author of Museum Memories: History, Technology, Art
