The dominant understanding of reuse for sustainability is a technical one, which assumes reuse s benefits are limited to the new material, energy and emissions avoided by repurposing. But reuse is much more than that. Reuse and repurposing have always been part of the human engagement with objects and spaces. Thus reuse and remaking are important topics in sustainable design, architecture, cultural studies, anthropology, and the sociology, economics and politics of consumption. Given our current environmental crises and the unsustainable expansion of global consumerism in an age of social and technological acceleration, the social and cultural impact of reuse or repurposing upon consumption practices in everyday life is particularly important. In design, reuse has more than a symbolic social or cultural value. Reuse protests against and subverts the dominance of a waste-ready accelerated newness in contemporary consumerism. Reuse establishes more durable and culturally specific relationships with objects and spaces, and more stable identities at a time of continuous and rapid change. Subverting Consumerism: Reuse in an Accelerated World is the first book to explore the three major facets of reuse: its meaning and aesthetics, the affects and effects of design for reuse, and reuse as a changing social practice. Drawing on examples from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, it engages with ideas and theories informing current reuse practices in our accelerated world and sets the scene for understanding how we are mining the past to reshape the future.

There is now a widespread interest in reuse in many domains from opera houses built over old warehouses to vintage clothes and everyday goods incorporating repurposed materials or parts. Despite its ubiquity this extensive creative work is typically seen in narrowly environmental terms as a means of reducing carbon resource use or waste. However as this volume shows reuse also has aesthetic and cultural dimensions and a rich social currency invoked to consciously subvert the accelerated consumer culture responsible for our unfolding environmental crisis. In three parts the essays in this book consider reuse in terms of values aesthetics and meaning its application in contemporary urban and spatial settings and the revival of social practices involving a more conscious recourse to reuse and repair. These are bookended by the editors' essays: the first on the significant relationship between reuse and technological and social acceleration evident in the surrounding consumer society; and the last on the multiple forms of reuse deployed in a contemporary alternative building practice and their contributions to presenting alternative ways of living in the world. Challenging dominant understandings of waste and consumption Subverting Consumerism shows how reuse has become a means for many to creatively engage with the past and to discover a continuity and sense of place eroded by the accelerative regimes of contemporary consumerism. Becoming a means of resistance and offering a range of aesthetic social and economic possibilities reuse can be found to subvert and challenge the obsessive quest for the new found in contemporary consumerism.
