Abstract

This paper takes as its starting point two landscapes of waste and connects them through an account of the intensification of production and consumption of textiles in modernising Iceland. Archaeological waste assemblages and historical resources are used to illustrate the consumption and disposal of clothing throughout the 19th century, which is juxtaposed with archaeological and historical studies into sheep rearing, grazing pressures and wool production. The paper argues that the economic notion of waste and the capitalist system from which it originates create landscapes of waste. It stipulates that many solutions which have been forwarded to the waste crisis are still conceived of within this socio-economic system. Historicizing waste creation demonstrates the urgency for alternative answers and the need to resist the movement of materials through the cycle of resource extraction, production, consumption and recycling, and further away from sites of use.
荒山和荒山:冰岛现代化中的衣服、绵羊和人
本文以两种废物景观为出发点,通过对冰岛现代化过程中纺织品生产和消费集约化的描述,将它们联系起来。考古废物组合和历史资源用于说明整个19世纪服装的消费和处理,与对绵羊饲养、放牧压力和羊毛生产的考古和历史研究并列。本文认为,废物的经济概念及其产生的资本主义制度创造了废物景观。它规定,针对废物危机提出的许多解决方案仍然是在这个社会经济体系中构思的。将废物产生历史化表明了替代答案的紧迫性,以及在资源提取、生产、消费和回收的循环中抵制材料流动的必要性,以及进一步远离使用场所的必要性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
