摘要

对人们工作生活的人种学洞察力可以帮助我们设想社会政策,以建立有尊严的工作场所。本文通过关注 Pheriwale 日常工作生活的两个方面,探讨了工作与社会保护之间的相互联系:第一,他们如何与自己的工作联系在一起;第二,他们如何置身于印度的福利环境中。Pheriwale 是印度德里的一群商人,他们收集和出售二手/旧衣服。与大部分印度劳动力一样,Pheriwale 的工作被归类为 "非正规 "工作,因为他们仍处于与正规就业挂钩的社会保障之外,主要依靠不规则的收入流动,而且主要属于低种姓群体。印度的低收入群体有权享受各种福利计划;然而,获得和领取这些福利并不总是一致或可靠的。在德里,pheriwale 从事旧衣/二手衣交易已有近一个世纪的历史,是该市明显以女性为主的交易群体之一。本文以 2017 年至 2019 年期间在西德里 pheriwale 市场进行的四个月定性实地调查为基础。通过从关系自治的概念视角跟踪 pheriwale 的工作经历,本研究突出了两个关键发现。首先,由于自营职业的性质,pheriwale 分享了他们在日常工作中如何相对控制时间和精力。其次,面对不可靠的福利国家,Pheriwale 依靠建立家庭社会保障来维持生活。

Contradictions at work: Navigating relational autonomy and caste in Delhi, India
Ethnographic insights into people’s working lives can help us envision social policy to build dignified workspaces. This article explores the interlinkages between work and social protection, by drawing attention to two dimensions of pheriwale’s everyday working lives: first, how they relate to their work, and second, how they are situated within the Indian welfare context. Pheriwale are a group of traders in Delhi, India, who collect and sell secondhand/used-clothes. Like much of the Indian workforce, pheriwale’s work is classified as ‘informal’, since they remain outside social security tied to formal employment, they largely rely on irregular flow of income and primarily belong to the lower-caste groups. Low-income groups in India are entitled to various welfare schemes; however, accessing and receiving these welfare benefits may not always be consistent or dependable. In Delhi, pheriwale have been trading used/secondhand clothes for almost a century and they are one of the visibly women-dominated trading groups in the city. This article builds on four months of qualitative fieldwork at pheriwale’s marketplace in West Delhi, between 2017 and 2019. By following pheriwale’s work experiences through the conceptual lens of relational autonomy, this study highlights two key findings. First, due to the nature of self-employment, pheriwale shared how they have relative control of time and energy in their working routines. Second, in the face of an unreliable welfare state, pheriwale rely on building familial means of social protection to sustain lives.
