DESCRIPTION:*this event was canceled*\n\nHow does waste mediate social and 
 political life?\n\nSophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins traces Palestinians’ experi
 ences of waste in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Associate Professor of An
 thropology Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins at Bard College talk offers an anal
 ysis unusual in the study of Palestine: it begins with the environmental\, 
 infrastructural\, and aesthetic context in which Palestinians forge their l
 ives. She describes how what she calls a “waste siege” was part of a moment
  of stabilization under occupation in the post-Oslo period\, contributing t
 o a sense of indeterminacy around responsibility for the burdensome objects
  and arrangements of daily life. She asks: What can waste management in the
  absence of a state tell us about twenty-first-century conditions of settle
 r colonialism\, and how can an investigation of infrastructure help us unde
 rstand Gaza and Palestine more broadly in the present moment?\n\nThe George
  Pierre Castile Anthropology Endowment sponsors this talk with the Anthropo
 logy Department\, Asian Middle Eastern Studies\, the Environmental Studies 
 Program\, and the Global Studies Program.
