The existing literature on street vendors has largely examined processes of marginalisation of informal enterprises amid rapid urban development. At the same time, the resistance methods of street vendors against the constraints of urban development have been extensively explored. However, these studies tend to focus on the binary position between informal and formal, as well as on the overt confrontation and conflicts between vendors and the state, which risks simplifying the heterogeneity of interests in the everyday practice of street vending. Delving into the daily work of street vendors in Bandung city, this article explores the everyday practice of traders in order to identify their subtle forms of resistance to removal and to the negative perceptions attached to them. By adopting the analytics of ‘people as infrastructure’ (Simone, 2004) and the idea of ‘building blocks of success’ for small enterprises (Turner, 2003), this article argues that social infrastructure is constituted and practiced through the construction of personal relationships and varied forms of informal economic exchange between vendors and their customers, informal organisers and neighbours, as well as through the adoption of new technology. Social infrastructures have become a means of building everyday politics for street vendors and a vital way of challenging the negative perception attached to street vending activities.

街头食品无与伦比的风味：印度尼西亚万隆街头小贩的社交基础设施作为日常政治手段

现有关于街头小贩的文献主要研究了城市快速发展过程中非正规企业的边缘化过程。同时，人们广泛探索了街头摊贩抵制城市发展约束的方法。但是，这些研究往往侧重于非正式和正式之间的二元立场，以及卖方与国家之间的公开对抗和冲突，这有可能简化街头自动贩卖日常活动中利益的异质性。深入研究万隆市街头摊贩的日常工作，本文探究了商人的日常实践，以确定他们对撤离和抵制附带的负面看法的微妙形式。通过采用“以人为基础的分析”（Simone，（2004年）和小企业“成功的基石”的想法（特纳，2003年），本文认为，社会基础设施是通过建立个人关系以及卖方与客户之间各种形式的非正式经济交易来构成和实践的，非正式的组织者和邻居，以及通过采用新技术。社会基础设施已经成为为街头小贩建立日常政治的手段，并且是一种挑战街头自动贩卖活动所带来的负面看法的重要方式。本文认为，社会基础设施的构建和实践是通过建立个人关系以及供应商与其客户，非正式组织者和邻居之间各种形式的非正式经济交流，以及通过采用新技术来实现的。社会基础设施已经成为为街头小贩建立日常政治的手段，并且是一种挑战街头自动贩卖活动所带来的负面看法的重要方式。本文认为，社会基础设施的构建和实践是通过建立个人关系以及供应商与其客户，非正式组织者和邻居之间的各种形式的非正式经济交流，以及通过采用新技术来实现的。社会基础设施已经成为为街头小贩建立日常政治的手段，并且是一种挑战街头自动贩卖活动所带来的负面看法的重要方式。
