ABSTRACT

This article focuses on a ‘register of recovery’ that emerged in post-crisis and post-neoliberal Argentina as a way of imagining and framing an increasingly disparate collection of persons, things, and ideas, from young workers, to green space, to hose pipes. Drawing on ethnography conducted at the NuevaMente recycling cooperative in Morón, Greater Buenos Aires, the article attends to the material implications stemming from the adoption of the rather hopeful concept of recovery, and the counter-models proposed by young workers, who view the workplace as a space not of cathartic recovery, but of temporary care and respite from the complications of family life. By emphasising the recovery of workers into the formal economy, their rich labour histories are deliberately unknown, while a focus on the recoverability of things ignores not only their lack of value, but also their potential hazardousness.

摘要

本文重点关注在后危机和后新自由主义阿根廷出现的“复苏记录”，它是一种想象和构建日益多样化的人、事物和想法集合的方式，从年轻工人到绿色空间，再到软管。管道。本文借鉴了大布宜诺斯艾利斯莫龙 NuevaMente 回收合作社进行的民族志研究，探讨了采用相当有希望的回收概念所产生的实质性影响，以及年轻工人提出的反模式，他们将工作场所视为这不是一个宣泄康复的空间，而是一个暂时护理和暂时缓解家庭生活复杂情况的空间。通过强调工人重返正规经济，他们丰富的劳动历史被故意不为人所知，
