“…At the same time, the diverse ethnographies that discuss cooperativism, the solidary economy or the informal work of waste pickers, are scattered without configuring a specific field. The collections organized by Carmen Rial (2016;Colombijn Eckert & Rial 2020) are pioneering initiatives in the development of an anthropology of waste in the country. Likewise, the field of anthropology of infrastructures in Brazil has emerged recently with the publication of the collection edited by Alex Vailati and Anthony D'Andrea (2020) and the dossier organized by Marcella Araújo, Camila Pierobon and Mariana Cavalcanti (2023) with works produced by the Infrastructure Studies Group.…”

The article theorizes the anthropology of waste as a field of knowledge appropriate for thinking and acting in the contemporary world marked by climate change. Responding to the Anthropocene and the subversion of ‘modern’ boundaries, waste is taken here as a privileged analytic framework for understanding how cities have become reconfigured as ‘Anthropocenic urban landscapes.’ By defining the anthropology of waste as an ‘epistemology of the Anthropocene,’ the text provides a conceptual panorama of the contemporary debate from which a set of theoretical, methodological and political questions emerges. The concept of ‘residual infrastructures’ is explored through two ethnographic cases based in Rio de Janeiro, demonstrating the potential of waste to renew the anthropology of cities by articulating the growing fields of waste and infrastructure studies. In the article’s conclusion, the politics of waste, which emerges from residual infrastructures, is also conceived as a politics of knowledge, outlining a research agenda for this expanding field of studies and indicating possible ways forward in an uncertain future.

The theme of this article is the recycling of solid waste as a dynamic process for the circular economy. We approach classic and recent studies that consider the contradictions in the industrial and so-called modern world regarding the exhaustion of abusive consumption practices to the environment. We present an ethnographic study developed in the Netherlands, focusing on a case study in Zaandam in 2019 and a study with recycling companies in 2021. In our ethnography with companies, we started with questions about the business logic of these industries, the origin of their materials, and the destination of their products. We also covered how residents of the Netherlands recycle and how they perceive recycling policies.

“…Os produtos industrializados derivados do petróleo, que não se deterioram com o tempo, há muitos anos estão dentro das florestas e das Terras Indígenas, tornando-se um problema aos povos indígenas e exigido formas de se lidar com o lixo vindo da cidade (ARISI; CANTERO, 2016). As alterações causadas nos modos de vida dos povos originários criaram uma dependência de mercadorias industrializadas, que por sua vez têm aumentado entre os indígenas no decorrer dos anos (GORDON, 2016), levando cada vez mais plástico e resíduos sólidos para dentro das Terras Indígenas.…”

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o modo como os Gavião realizam o manejo de resíduos sólidos dentro da Terra Indígena Governador. Trata-se de um estudo etnográfico, realizado por meio da observação participante e aplicação de questionários com professores indígenas e anciões. O descarte de resíduos sólidos esteve relacionado com períodos de proximidade e de afastamento da cidade, exigindo práticas específicas de manejo. A Gincana do Meio Ambiente, organizada pelos professores da escola indígena, integrou conhecimentos científicos e tradicionais voltados a conscientização relativa aos resíduos descartados. Refletir sobre o manejo de resíduos dos Gavião nos permite pensar nossos problemas com o lixo e a vida humana no planeta.
