Mesjasz na wysypisku albo soteriologia śmiecia
Messiah at the Landfill, or Soteriology of Garbage

Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts at interpreting the condition of contemporary consumer capitalism through the prism of messianic enterprise. The aim is to consider the possibility of subverting commoditization from the inside and to outline potential ways of doing this. The theoretical matrix of the paper are Walter Benjamin’s works set in the tradition of Isaac Luria’s kaballah, along with their further criticism. The final result of the paper should be the figure of a “messianic dustman” and explanation why it has been chosen as the subject of subverting capitalism.
