“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Underground Ecocriticism Liveblog 25

Michael Sloane, “Dumpster Diving William Carlos Williams.”
Duchamp.  
dirty modernism; dead ecology; the inanimate and the inorganic
overlooking things, super-vision
under-looking! turning to the modern object
the world as a surprise
and now a long list of "to dive..." things
diving: digging up and digging down
to dumpster is to begin to become waste
what and why is waste, and how work with it and to reduce it?
