摘要

在拉合尔,已经成立了一个公私伙伴关系来取代固体废物管理部。除了对劳动过程进行技术和管理干预外,这种伙伴关系还带来了一批专业人员,他们的专业知识被认为对改善城市的固体废物管理至关重要。然而,由环卫工人和市政市政管理部门的管理人员组成的劳动力队伍仍然是在城市景观中实际清除废弃材料的主要手段。这篇文章探讨了技术和生产主义框架是如何在城市中处理废物的劳动过程中发挥作用的——特别是当专业人士颁布他们的专业知识时。在此过程中,本文认为,在制度和技术转型的时刻,工作作为一种行动类别的不稳定性使其有可能被重新评估。这种方法不仅明确了框架,无论是技术的还是生产主义的,通过这些框架,工作或劳动的形式得到了重估,它还允许我们在这些框架之外追踪工作的政治。

Technics of Labor: Productivism, Expertise, and Solid Waste Management in a Public-Private Partnership

In Lahore, a public-private partnership has been formed to replace the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Department. Along with technological and managerial interventions into the labor process, this partnership has also brought in a class of professionals whose expertise is viewed as being essential to improving solid waste management for the city. Nevertheless, a labor force of sanitation workers and supervisors from the municipal SWM Department remain the primary means by which discarded materials are actually taken away across the urban landscape. This article examines how technical and productivist frameworks were brought to bear—especially as professionals enacted their expertise—upon the labor process by which waste materials are disposed of in the city. In doing so, this article argues that in moments of institutional and technological transition, the instability of work as a category of action opens it up to potential revaluation. Not only does this approach make clear the frameworks, whether technical or productivist, through which forms of work or labor get revalued, it also allows us to trace a politics of work beyond such frameworks.
