摘要

摘要本文强调了在刚果民主共和国东南部的铜和钴开采部门研究时间政治的重要性，在那里可以观察到手工小规模采矿（ASM）和大规模采矿（LSM）之间的紧张共存。有人认为，ASM-LSM环境中的不平等不仅在空间上表现出来，而且在时间上也表现出来。面对不确定的未来，ASM和LSM参与者没有同样的能力控制时间和规划未来。根据2005年至2022年间在加丹加矿区进行的几轮人种学实地调查的数据，文章主张采取一种方法，在大规模矿产开采与小规模矿产开采相冲突的地方，更加关注时间和时间问题。

Why time matters for understanding the ASM-LSM nexus in south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract This article highlights the importance of studying the politics of time in the copper and cobalt mining sector of south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where a tense coexistence can be observed between artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and large-scale mining (LSM). It is argued that inequality in ASM-LSM settings not only manifests itself spatially but also temporally. Faced with an uncertain future, ASM and LSM actors do not have the same capacity to control time and plan their futures. Drawing on data from several rounds of ethnographic fieldwork in Katanga's mining areas between 2005 and 2022, the article advocates an approach which pays more attention to issues of time and temporality in places where large-scale forms of mineral extraction clash with small-scale ones.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Modern African Studies offers a quarterly survey of developments in modern African politics and society. Its main emphasis is on current issues in African politics, economies, societies and international relations. It is intended not only for students and academic specialists, but also for general readers and practitioners with a concern for modern Africa, living and working both inside and outside the continent. Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, but aims at a fair examination of controversial issues in order to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today. The journal also includes an invaluable book review section.
