| Abstract: | Examining how the polypropylene pots in which depilatory wax is packaged are active in the production of 'feminine' hairlessness in London's beauty salons and what happens as they are disposed of and incinerated, this article focuses on the making of bodies to explore plastic's temporalities. Centering the materiality of the plastic packaging (strong, light, flexible, replaceable, disposable), the article explores what the pots are and so what the pots do: what they effect, including how plastic comes to configure bodies in different and potentially harmful ways. Considering how plastic endures in bodies brings to the fore its multiple temporalities, heterochronic, layered and folded into one another. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
