摘要

这篇文章重新思考了“亲密劳动”的写作，通过关注保加利亚的罗姆女废物工人如何维护工作场所的友谊，要求公共空间，培养维持生命的团结，从民族志上探索劳动的亲密性。在种族化和有辱人格的劳动条件下，她们穿着制服，引人注目，在城市街道上对白人男子发出嘘声，暂时扰乱了对女性的规范期望。由于工作场所的亲密关系具有破坏性的力量，街道清洁工利用幽默和游戏为自己和彼此创造集体快乐。正如他们解释的那样，他们“为了让保加利亚白人活下去而死”，他们也利用友谊来创造愉快的生活方式，他们称之为“其他任何东西”。

The Intimacy of Labor

This essay rethinks writing on “intimate labor” to ethnographically explore the intimacy of labor by attending to how Romani women waste workers in Bulgaria assert workplace friendships to lay claim to public space and cultivate life-sustaining solidarities. Under conditions of racialized and degrading labor, they play with their uniformed hypervisibility, catcall white men on city streets, and temporarily unsettle normative expectations of womanhood. With this disruptive power of workplace intimacy, street sweepers use humor and play to create collective pleasure for themselves and one another. As they explain that they “die so that white Bulgarians can live,” they also use their friendships to generate pleasurable forms of living, what they term “anything else.”

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
