Abstract

The goal of this thesis is to highlight the role of practices related to the acquisition, repair, and resell of second-hand goods in shaping the urban circular economy. By using Gibson-Graham’s methodology for reading for difference, we seek here to shed light on the actors and practices of the second-hand industry in Uzbekistan. Partnered with a postcolonial analysis, this method shifts the focus away from the dominant economic narrative centred around the corporation and infinite growth towards more sustainable and ethical ways of living together in urban settings.
