Waste and its disposal are inescapable features of the Anthropocene. According to World Bank, global waste isexpected to have increased by roughly 70 percent to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050, with at least 33% of wastebeing mismanaged globally. This global waste crisis leads to climate change and poses threats to the ecosystemand public health including malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal diseases. To meet such challenges requiresmonumental, concerted efforts of imagination, including a re-thinking of how waste is handled and what wastemeans. My proposed Ph.D. research will explore how creative work can help us imagine possibilities of wastedisposal and purpose future models for living with waste in the Anthropocene.My project will explore how speculative fiction combines waste with capitalist crises in the Anthropocene, whileinvestigating intersections and tensions among the fields of speculative fiction, waste studies and ecocriticism. Myaim is to reframe waste by focusing on its redefinition, reuse, management and symbiosis with humans in sciencefictionalscenarios, and to offer a more hopeful account of its possible future.

废物及其处置是人类世的不可避免的特征。根据世界银行的数据，到2050年，全球废物预计将增加了约70％，达到34亿吨，全球至少有33％的浪费不雄厚。这场全球废物危机导致气候变化，并对生态系统和公共卫生构成威胁，包括疟疾，黄热病和其他致命疾病。为了应对此类挑战，需要努力，一致的想象力，包括重新思考废物的处理方式和什么废水。我建议的博士学位研究将探讨创造性的工作如何帮助我们想象浪费的可能性和目的的未来模型在人类世中与废物生活在一起。我的项目将探讨投机性小说如何将浪费与人类世代的资本主义危机结合在一起，同时对猜测交叉点和猜测的交叉点和紧张局势，在投机性的虚构，废物，废物研究，浪费，研究和eCocritic和Ecocritic和Ecocritic和Ecocriticiss。 Myaim是通过专注于与人类在ScienceFictionalsCenarios中的重新定义，再利用，管理和共生的重新定义，并为其可能的未来提供更有希望的描述。
