ABSTRACT The 2008 collapse of the Icelandic banking sector has become a defining moment in the nation's contemporary history. The event revealed the role of neoliberal economic reconfigurations in the construction of social and temporal experience, particularly by highlighting the public's investment in, and aspiration for, a bright economic future during the early-2000s. Drawing on our independent ethnographic work, we collectively trace the enormous growth and decline of the Icelandic economy over the last two decades and examine the ways the collapse has produced new feelings, associations and expectations that continue to frame the past, present and future. In doing so, we explore and problematize the interdependencies between temporality and everyday social practices amid crisis. We argue that, despite the economy strengthening over the last decade, a sense of economic uncertainty has remained, with many Icelanders anticipating another collapse. We conclude by discussing the unfinished nature of crisis and role of public forecasting as a means for contending with ongoing economic insecurity.

危机的未来：冰岛经济崩溃的影响和暂时性

摘要2008年冰岛银行业的崩溃已经成为该国当代历史上一个决定性的时刻。这次活动揭示了新自由主义经济结构调整在社会和时间经验建设中的作用，特别是强调了公众对2000年代初期光明的经济未来的投资和期望。依靠我们独立的人种志研究，我们共同追踪了过去二十年来冰岛经济的巨大增长和衰退，并研究了这种崩溃如何产生新的感觉，联想和期望，这些情绪继续构成过去，现在和未来。在此过程中，我们探索了危机中的时间性与日常社会实践之间的相互依存关系，并提出了质疑。我们认为，尽管过去十年经济增长强劲，但经济不确定性依然存在，许多冰岛人预计会再度崩溃。最后，我们讨论了危机的未完成性质以及公共预测作为应对持续的经济不安全状况的手段的作用。
