WITH JEANNE GUIEN The thousands of tons of garbage littering the sidewalks since the garbage collectors' strike have highlighted the spectacular amount of trash we throw away every day. These piles of rubbish that persist in growing day by day before our eyes force us to face the usually invisible counterpart of our consumption patterns. Jeanne Guien has a doctorate in philosophy and works on the issues of obsolescence and consumerism. In her work, she tells the story and the economy of the disposable and she invites us to question the very notion of waste. What do we put in our trash cans? Why do we produce so much waste? Why do we need to throw away? Also with Baptiste Monsaingeon, sociologist References: Jeanne Guien, Le consumérisme à travers ses objets.
