Turning to “fragments,” (Arendt, McFarlane) “waste,” (Armiero) “repair,” (Attia, Distretti, Thieme, Moten) and “historicity,” (Benjamin, Dussel) we will be collectively developing a different cartographic methodology to trace and tell (Czarniawska) the (socially, environmentally, economically) contaminated present as both a historical construct that reveals the actors and forces involved in shaping the present moment, and an opening into alternative futurities that imagine things differently.
