Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough: Ethnographic Responses (Politics of Repair, Band 1)

ISBN 10: 1789203317 ISBN 13: 9781789203318

Verlag: Berghahn Books, 2019

Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough argues that repair is both a process and also a consequence which is sought out-an attempt to extend the life of things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings, and leftovers. This volume develops an open-ended combination of empirical and theoretical questions including: What does it mean to claim that something is broken? At what point is something broken repairable? What are the social relationships that take place around repair? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies have?
