  Excess, Leftover and innovation

  Remainders and the way they are dealt with are a productive social sciences heuristic.

Incorporating the subject of waste but casting a much wider net, this special issue will gather together contributions, from multiple disciplines and fieldsites, around the topic of "remainders", conceived of not only as 'obverse of production' but also in their crucial semiotic and symbolic dimensions.
