In Repair: towards a post-throwaway society 

Repair Society

What would society look like if we assigned a central role to repair? And what happens if we see repair as more than a quick fix? The symposium ‘In Repair: towards a post-throwaway society’ builds on recent studies of repair, which frame the concept in a much broader context. Activities like mending, renovating, healing, rehabilitating, revitalizing, recovering, curing or hacking help us deal with problems in a social, sustainable, and resourceful way. During this evening we explore how repair thinking could set directions for a post-throwaway society. A society in which imperfection, broken systems, relations and objects are welcomed rather than shunned; a logic of breakdown bridges past, present and future; and even tax might shift from labour to natural resource use.  KEYNOTE  Prof. Steven Jackson (coordinator of the NSF Repair, Maintenance, Sustainability research program at Cornell University), introducing ‘broken world thinking’ SPEAKERS Femke Groothuis, director of Ex’Tax, Prof. dr. Ellen Rutten, coordinator of the Sublime Imperfections NWO research program at UvA, dr. Yngvar Steinholt (Tromso University), curator and Repair Society initiator Joanna van der Zanden.
