摘要

这篇文章考察了驻守在纽卡斯尔刑罚站的普通士兵,他们不仅是琳达·科利(Linda Colley)笔下著名头衔中不满的帝国俘虏,而且是不满的帝国劳工。在纽卡斯尔,为了解决囚犯劳动力的周期性短缺,他们特意进行了重组。尽管军事劳工是19世纪最大的职业群体之一,但它也是劳工史研究中最容易被忽视的群体之一。殖民地士兵传统上被排除在劳动语言及其相关冲突之外。毕竟,他们是被部署的,但我们认为,很少被雇用。这一分析围绕着一组简陋的雪松盒子的材料历史展开,这些盒子与提供宝贵自然资源的定居点功能错综复杂地联系在一起。士兵的箱子也提出了一些有趣的问题,关于定居点的政治和地下经济,以及被淹没的工人阶级的交换和谈判模式。这些问题揭示了对殖民地劳工、土地和资源控制的决定性冲突。

The Colonial Ambiguities of Military Labour on the Penal Frontier: The Newcastle Penal Station 1804–24
This article examines ordinary soldiers garrisoned at the Penal Station of Newcastle, not merely as the discontented imperial captives of Linda Colley’s famous title, but as discontented imperial labour. At Newcastle they were deliberately reconstituted as such to manage periodic shortages in convict labour. Although military labour is one of the largest occupational groupings in the nineteenth century, it is also one of the most overlooked in the study of labour history. Colonial soldiers are traditionally excluded from the language of labour and its associated conflicts. They are, after all, deployed, but rarely, we assume, employed. This analysis pivots around the material history of a set of humble cedar boxes, intricately connected to the settlement’s function in the provision of valuable natural resources. The soldiers’ boxes also beg interesting questions about the political and subterranean economies of the settlement and the submerged working-class patterns of exchange and negotiation. Such questions reveal a defining conflict over the control of colonial labour, land and resources.
