Sažetak
Drawing on an ethnographic case study of deindustrialisation in the city of Sisak (Croatia) and following an emerging accidental group of women activists, this paper offers an insight into a community-instigated environmental response against the non-transparent policies and hidden agendas of the waste disposal industry. While the paper begins with the end of the industrial era in a medium-size socialist industrial city, it aims to consider what comes next. We argue that post-industrial subjectivity emerges and that activism arises after the collapse of industrialism as a particular strategy to negotiate living in the industrial landscape and to fight the inherited burdens of industrial pollution.
