Abstract

The toilet has put the “unmentionable” on the map of development and humanitarianism. It has concentrated calls for collective attention in a singular, tangible object. Attention to the toilet as an object has called for the design and distribution of new toilets—“little development devices”—that can provide access to improved sanitation while further deferring large-scale infrastructural development in cities already marked by considerable uneven urban planning.
