ABSTRACT

In this essay, I consider the ways in which gold acts and is perceived as a reserve in the El Cubo mine in Guanajuato, Mexico, and in some European central banks. Following Gustav Peebles’ essay ‘Rehabilitating the Hoard’ (2014), I consider the ways in which gold’s movement from mine to vault helps to express a dialectic of sequestration and display that enables its operation as hoard, providing for struggles over sovereignty, stewardship, and the global transfer of value from South to North.

“在地球深处是一种闪亮的物质：”金矿和中央银行的封存和展示

摘要

在这篇文章中，我考虑了黄金在墨西哥瓜纳华托的 El Cubo 矿和一些欧洲中央银行中的作用和被视为储备的方式。继古斯塔夫·皮布尔斯 (Gustav Peebles) 的文章“修复囤积”(2014 年) 之后，我考虑了黄金从矿场到金库的移动方式有助于表达扣押和展示的辩证法，使其能够作为囤积物运作，为主权、管理权、以及从南到北的全球价值转移。
