trash as history/memory  

Definición

  • Throughout the 20th century, trash has been appropriated as one of the key figures through which to contest traditional, scholarly understandings of history. The term trash, understood in its broadest sense as something deemed of no value, has been located as a telling figure, capable of highlighting all that 19th-century forms of history have too readily dismissed in their faith in objectivity, progress, and development.
