Recent anthropological attention to more-than-human life has neglected the importance of race and racialization in human responses to environmental change. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with waste management institutions and Romani waste laborers in urban Bulgaria, this article invokes the concept of the racialized Anthropocene to destabilize the unmarked whiteness upon which the turn to humans-as-a-species—anthropos—is founded. Habituation is central to both EU waste policy and the generative strategies Romani street sweepers use to manage accumulated waste and the conditions of their racialized labor. I call these creative and quotidian strategies anthropogenic management. Anthropogenic management disrupts the resiliency paradigm that has become commonplace in analyses of how people respond to circumstances not of their own making. As such, it bridges the Anthropocene, marked by waste accumulation at a planetary scale, with the everyday conditions of racialization through the embodied labor of managing other people's trash.

复原力的极限：种族化人类世中的废物管理

最近人类学对超越人类生活的关注忽略了种族和种族化在人类对环境变化的反应中的重要性。本文利用与保加利亚城市废物管理机构和罗姆人废物劳工的人种学田野调查，援引种族化人类世的概念来破坏无标记的白人，而白人正是基于这种白人转向人类作为物种——人类——的基础。习惯是欧盟废物政策和罗姆人街道清扫工用来管理累积废物和种族化劳动条件的生成策略的核心。我称这些创造性和日常策略为人为管理. 人为管理破坏了弹性范式，这种范式在分析人们如何应对非他们自己造成的情况时变得司空见惯。因此，它通过管理他人垃圾的具体劳动将人类世（以行星规模的废物积累为标志）与种族化的日常条件联系起来。[浪费、劳动力、种族、保加利亚]
