Sociologist Wei favour? Ha Si of lay mines gram perhaps can work environmental sanitation what mark element does not have in serving as daily life is paradigmatic. If we often seek those ordinary appearances, the world all round us will be understood by more comprehensive ground and acknowledge -- he says for " not dash forward show " -- accordingly, these phenomena also had be notted study. According to lay mines Kehasi says, they and those dash forward the issue that shows sign, relation, identity and behavior form bright contrast; They collect a lot of attention, be used as to describe the instance of bigger range reality normally, but the phenomenon with mere outstanding knowledge will be screwy we are right the understanding of the world. Lay mines overcomes Ha Si to be stated, live away from home is in fundamental truth to was not labelled, in the phenomenon that was not paid close attention to.

The work that is not seen: Why should anthropologist study rubbish reclaims

Municipal rubbish reclaims the project is very paradigmatic. They run strategy to spreading all over the urban rubbish of the world crucial, and they are accompanying rubbish normally reclaim how to help the speech that delivers the earth. This is a kind of misfortune is enunciative. Although this one project has a lot of profit, they were not in safeguard global environment health to finish complete earnestly practise what one advocates. Although roadside rubbish reclaims -- what this is thought to have responsibility to zoology management is important form, won real natural resources and support. However, other and indistinctive, more complex, the choice that latent capacity is well worth doing, exemple the citizen that if provide politics to participate in gender, boycott more,pollutes in great quantities and governmental drive measure, and these medium much were not labelled just about, it is uncared-for consequently.

What environmental sanitation worker realizes they are engaged in is the labor that is not labelled, because this themselves is not nominative labour force. Labour of an environmental sanitation is listening to boss passively to be the v/arc an admonitory talk to subordinates of something shout afternoon. Appease when this growl come down, labour of this environmental sanitation sighed tone say, "Got, ai Di, are you so angry Where is dry what? This is rubbish nevertheless. " this expression appears poor see be used to. After the resource of afterwards health bureau is brought into play to answer big snowstorm, we all is faced with " search rubbish " hard hour, this area cleanness controller from the health bureau got rubbish clears over there superior working difference is judged. Resemble someone else same, because he works continuously everyday 12 dog-tired to 13 Xiaoshi. He bears a responsibility earnestly, the criticism that gets however makes a person prickle. But then, he also distains the ground shakes shake one's head, groan path, "This is rubbish nevertheless. "This is rubbish nevertheless..

The work that handles rubbish is not noticed, this is in reason, but the fleshy body of environmental sanitation worker is not invisible however. When the John of institute of Ha Fufu heart? When Colman collects rubbish, he did not put on magical concealed body device. Same, be stationed in when the environmental sanitation workers of new York street when, they also are not transparent, say exactly, they all the time since " not attendant " inspect namely feeling is old culture gifts a kind of their condition. When environmental sanitation labour busy move handles daily bagatelle when, they were disregarded conciously by the masses.

Rubbish itself is the one old product of culture of prosperous consumption economy, it was not labelled and be disregarded intentionally. Rubbish clears the job more be disregarded and oversight, because it is in,physics and cognitive level exist at the same time. The career of an environmental sanitation worker is in centrally by other predicate on the thing of undeserved farther attention and remains, and these remains are being gone to another by move " final " An Juzhi place. The physical space that they occupied intermediate sex -- street, yes, but specific for it is street edge, lane and driveway end. They the place that the object migrate that rubbish this is loved and esteem least of all has industrial use. Begin in community brim and the rubbish job that they pursue everyday ends normally. They are interpose make a person vinegary at individual rubbish " at the moment " with it be about to arrive at like the miracle " when in the future " the intermediary between.

But still have more. Their job is preventive, not be passive reaction, the ability when because this becomes it only,was not being finished can be noticed. One is in environmental sanitation worker not the jest with axiomatic character is: They just get paying close attention to in very few circumstance only, among them when one leaks to receive rubbish namely. The rubbish of systematization collects a system to build inadequacy 120 years in new York, but from build beginning, the public begins to depend on this one service, regard its as common the job with groovy sex. Without giving thought to what circumstance -- even if is enough the rainstorm that wrecks dump, horrible assault, big power cut or it is fire -- the dustman is made still undertaking in Tophet. Environmental sanitation labour resembles can rising the sun since can come to Tophet certainly in that way every morning.

At present till the likelihood in still listening to the reader that I tell about has a batch to feel some are impatient. "Hey, " I think he can say, "So rubbish person, haw, ' environmental sanitation is versed in ' did not get a lot of attention. That how? The workers of a lot of different type of work also did not get enough attention. Why should I pay close attention to environmental sanitation worker? Why should I pay close attention to environmental sanitation worker??

Very great question. Simple answer invites a lot of people that do this work's stunned also problem this: The neat team with because environmental sanitation workers are street,go up the most important. Neither one city can flourish, if it lacks program of government of rubbish of an exercisable solid. If environmental sanitation worker is not over there, this city will become very quickly unfavorable house. Before rubbish and street and clean problem get settlement, new York is major place with intolerably dirty and notorious. Several with the people of ten million plan can bear a market only without the choice on the road the rubbish with multiform stack is leftover, the room in their home is illogical wind, basement is not pervious to light, they die at various diseases, even if in those day most disease also can prevent. Have the fear that a lot of channel will come to answer these intertexture, but effective rubbish is collected is the one big foundation stone that reform is able to build. Of course, service of police and firemen, prison teachs and traffic is carried, the essential element that children welfare and education are urban health development, but the historical proof of new York: Should offer people excursive city street when the community that goes back on his word to live in order to work with people is flooded by rubbish, it is no matter police or firemen or it is a teacher, as a whole, the movement that can no more be this city works effectively.

The key is communal sanitation not merely, environmental sanitation works important still have 2 reasons, include two main factors. Environmental sanitation worker is the important participator that safeguards capitalist the basiccest rhythm. Corporeal consumption always includes the inevitability that discard, although this is admitted rarely. If consumer goods cannot be discarded, so the space that it is taken up cannot vacate the one part that will let new product become a family. Because environmental sanitation worker took away domestic rubbish, the economic engine that we are a foundation with consumption just won't move not free. Although this is the simplification description of thick to heavy complex process, basic reality is clear however: Has used thing must discard, vacate a space for new thing.

Modern consumption and discard those who be used to pair of time that represented a kind of unprecedented use. We rely on the ability of quick action, so we assume oneself and coffee cup, shopping bag, all sorts of packing between the briefest relation, we must swing these encumbrance to be convention with maintaining what can say quickly, indispensable " daily frequency " . This kind of frequency and our identity photograph is contacted, this identity never so rich plasticity; Consumption is we go back on his word to be mixed with transmission, acknowledge at the moment awareness of divisional class, education, politics and the mechanism with devotional religion.

Below this one logic, as metropolitan dweller, environmental sanitation worker is healthy to ours the influence place that has absolutely center, the citizen identity move that appropriate portrays in the world that runs in this high speed to us also has important sense, even if is environmental sanitation job stays on net manual level. Although the technology matures all-timely excellent, on the body of with opprobrium mem and women that the work that rubbish handles falls really in those our habits to cheat. The broadcast advertisement ask a question that appointment serves, "When you can own a stockbroker, why to go indulging an environmental sanitation to be versed in? " a lady gives labour of an environmental sanitation the paper that day, when he thanks her, this lady asks hesitantly, "Your literacy, right? " a pair of couples in cartoon comic take anxious ground to point to a lady in face of a high-grade dining-room, explain her appointment object, "When I say I want person of a liveried, what what I think at first is not this. " this man, be being surrounded by fly, dress comes from " tall Yi rubbish serves " the jacket of model of written characters. A newspaper reported a story about campus football scandal, an administrator is story cite if campus athlete forges achievement to dispute, explain, he hopes his athlete can find the job in post office, is not to make environmental sanitation work. There is mountain fastness in the tourist shop that spreads all over Newyork city " bureau of new York fire control " (FDNY) , " new York police station " (NYPD) equip, but did not sell almost " new York health bureau " the thing of model of written characters. Other and chain store, retail sell the inn, a few schools that are new York area even to be able to offer police and firemen discount continuously, but environmental sanitation worker does not have this kind of pay however. Each arrived the environmental sanitation worker of certain age still can remember teacher loudly appeal to the public, if you cannot get high component, you can reduce environmental sanitation labour.

This one opprobrium lets a person feel smartly, but all the more of mood of faze popular feeling is, say according to bureau of confederative labor statistic, environmental sanitation labour is one of jobs with this the most dangerous state, of every man-hour get hurt to be gotten higher than police and firemen with mortality much.

When the family that has true love becomes environmental sanitation worker, people always thinks without firearm bright fire is this job to feel with respect to this rejoiced. "I do not want to be hit by the gun one of these day. " labour of environmental sanitation of a new advance tells me, he regards the argument that rejects to become a police as this. Indeed, as this environmental sanitation industry says in that way, the situation that he encounters someone unlikelily to wearing a gun to point to him (although this also once had happened) , but he is hit very likely the abdomen in the head, kick or leg by desultorily stupid thing, edge tool or dentate thing scratch. All sorts of toxic substance that he is releasing in the rubbish of processing may send incomplete to kill him even. In the meantime, because he works on the road in the street, he is beaten up, collide or by the odds of car run down extremely tall.

New York person is right this utterly ignorant. "They go out in the evening rubbish, " labour of old environmental sanitation is joking path, "They think rubbish celestial being can change rubbish. " the rubbish celestial being of this city is those dress bottle green uniform, driving roaring white truck, carry the people that removes 20 tons of rubbish everyday in certain block; Their family needs to adjust schedule certainly in order to make they can every other rests 5 weeks two days continuously; When they or new advance employee, they are in only ability is witting when ending a class the class is in their the next where, when to begin, next they ability is OK bounce and case, day and night job is in each corner of this city, it is to count week, a few months even continuously sometimes year; The machine that they are operating ponderosity on working station, in the in and out in wagon flow, they are bearing a series of making that person put oneself in another's position is weak, it is deadly pain even sometimes, no matter they have many cautious. Rough statistic, the 1/4 dispute in them continent descendants American, person of Latin America descendants is occupied than a bit little at 1/5, of half above is a white man, be in the majority with Irish and Italian apparently again in the white man. No matter the each the their phyletic, their working hours, folk that their Lai Yisheng puts, job that they assume, body that they bear is aching or their decisive action in urban welfare, put on an uniform when these rubbish celestial being, they as if stopped to exist. It is good that this had perplexed me long period of time.

When this accident is born in me 10 years old. My father takes me to go bivouac of a forest, that place too too primitive the mankind that so that I feel we are almost,visits it the first batch, discover till us, there are an about 40 squares at the back of of our camping ground foot outdoor rubbish dump. The fly of big and fleshy buzzs to turn continuously on cankered orange skin, mark of rust of empty soup canister is full of stains or spots, there is a sneaker on the side, a few wrinkled aluminum foil coil to be packed in deserted Chinese style sparkle by the box shine. Still sending out here of mark sex effluvial.

I was stupefied. Is my bivouac companionate people how can you do not have proper limits for speech or action so? Apparent, they let their rubbish make the trouble of others, this does not have a problem originally, but whose trouble did this make after all? do they think this is special " protect forest member the brigade of rubbish " service? can a dumpcart is pressed book appear on the way that from us have not notices?

This paragraph of memory is very fresh, in because this is my childhood,be being remembered, some certain thing is disclosed to be a bad instant of crammer. I ever imagined old people care and esteem feral forest, but the rubbish dump in the forest proves some people is those people that like bivouac it seems that even essential also not care a cent. This one understanding lets me sense indignation and perplexity, at this late hour kink hereat.

Bivouac of carelessness of this a handful person behavior is us merely most person's common behavior epitome, say on bigger level, we are used to already handle the thing that need no longer and yearns for no longer so. The dustbin after we cast rubbish the ash-bin to edge of rubbish bag, street, house or the chute of block of flats, drive the rubbish dump that is thrown into place also or it is from the car the window is thrown, let it wave fall on street face, think this replies a thing no longer from now on next.

Follow a gender so not classics consideration, in English " Throw " Our Garbage " Away " (" refuse " our rubbish) strange anatomical reveal without involuntary discharge of urine, this is a kind already the behavior that dominance blurs again. We are not " dropt " it (this suggestion is worn save it) or " place " it (this shows careful ground handles it) . We are " refuse " it, because this its park is far from our place, our place knows park very little distant place. In current developed country, "Away " (distance) mean rubbish bury field, rubbish to reclaim the factory perhaps burns power plant (a kind of new-style incinerator, burn down is called previously implement, again before it is our hep crematory namely) .

Be in new York, "Distance " it is the coasting that points to this city, at fenny, canyon and periphery architectural, what perhaps roll is marine. These choices make rubbish is far from the line of sight, but very close from us also: Metropolitan today the area of 20% , the place of 33% builds the division below whole Manhadu on filler, and rubbish makes these filler great majority. A lot of cities that go up like the world are same, current new York stand erect is in those by the history of bury over.

On 20 centuries half leaf, "Distance " it is to point to a few brash built incinerator and pallet rubbish bury field. They by Robert? Mo Si is decorated appropriate, he is this city so called " build a Great Master " . These are the one share that management of long-term solid rubbish plans Mo Si, but the about that the great majority in them lasted a few years only. When ground of their one after another quits movement, the municipal rubbish of larger amount is gone to by billabong Sidadu island on the west the field of bury of a rubbish of the bank. It was built 1948 be called at " Fulaisikeersi " the wet land that has tide rise and fall. It will use Mo Sicheng Nuo 3 years merely, but grow ceaselessly as rubbish, its footmark expands continuously; Arrived 20 centuries 90 time are inchoate, the rubbish with it or only Newyork city treats field. Field of this rubbish bury was shut finally 2001. Nowadays " elder brother pool is pressed down " rubbish is far cross Ohio and south block ability of Luo Laina city to arrive at it " distance " (the archaeologist that this place will make prospective generation acting is immersed in bewilderment) .

Leave the home to begin to seek means of livilihood oneself on this world when me when, I am right this utterly ignorant. I know I am having strong curiosity to rubbish only, but I think my problem is a little peculiar, because I never listen to any someone else,had asked these. Move Newyork city till me, I was used to contemplative to oneself keep silence. Because they let person laugh; They let me appear very strange flower.

Anthropologic it is a discipline that having complex and troubled history, but its basic principle touchs however the mankind's inherent originality potential. When an anthropologist wants the world outlook that understanding and he differs completely, she can try to discern the what part in these viewpoints is special, what can discover in other society. Focusing is carried out at culture and spread all over small company of global large volume group social structure, anthropologic announced: Our mankind spans the confine of time, innovation goes numerous and complicated mode of doctrine of regulation of practice of complex political structure, economy, timing system, marriage, religion, close predestined relationship, acclaim as the peak of perfection making a person. Tradition and habit pass hypothesis how does this world run, how should be all sorts of relations in the world built to gift by compose weight. To me, anthropologic the greatest announcing is: The truth of the majority, especially the creation that those truths that get used to social circumstances are a person. We made them. Perhaps be involuntary ground, but we are not made in vacuum absolutely, because our consuetudinary convention and culture tendency are agelong. Accordingly, these truths can be changed.

Anthropologic perforative my student times, but I did not study meantime rubbish, I missed it. After my degree that finish, I think is the attention object that moment regards me as rubbish again, so I organized to be called " rubbish of city of elder brother Tan: Of rubbish anthropologic " seminar. My student and I the fantasticality of the value of gradual progress regard as the thing. How are these 9 centuries changed we ponder over people recently to the understanding of time, this and we and " article " connection has what concern, if " article " what can metamorphism produce again. We measure the economy that encourages waste and drive to differ sparely and social factor. We observe those distinguish the thought category at optional speech -- this one category asks almost all-embracing, e.g. , resemble die or rubbish -- the implicit deep desire in explore this kind of segregation. We are read, the structure of nauseous principle and morality perhaps is linked together cheek by jowl; We are excogitated, how understand and someone else faces litter; Our solution numerates, the connection between the definition of order and divine definition. The development history of the infrastructure that contacts with litter management, be in especially city, showed the square side side of urban history, these knowledge are unfamiliar to my major student. The individual that appears with all sorts of means, enterprise and government handled the difficult problem of social responsibility to cause a harangue apparently in rubbish.

But we go to the partial nothing is more... than with this the most unforgettable semester Sidadu of the island " Fulaisikeersi " rubbish bury field. An environmental sanitation director takes us to go to landing area, crane driver is digging excessive over there full by tens of thousands ton the barge of rubbish. Environmental sanitation director was revealed to us " Peihaolesi " , this one tremendous rubbish lorry has a double wheel at our height, its front fork-lift truck is having the bucket of car volume. Visiting end, we head for the outdoor field of rubbish bury field, over we see it is OK to arrive greatly the polymerization that overturns whole building grab is approved in a batch shift moves back and forth between large and fresh rubbish. Or, we try to observe them; The mew dive of the condor size of group drops, the never-failing food source that this takes sneak attack, in this Tophet this sees very hard.

My students know before saw with one's own eyes is witnessed field of this rubbish bury is very huge -- according to hearsay of in the bookshops, it arrives to be able to see from aerospace even greatly -- but they or boundless to this great a unit of weight are extemporaneous. This raised rubbish hill should be continuous forever it seems that go down, it is alluding this once was manpower and go to, but now perhaps is automatic geographical pattern is continuous. "Fulaisikeersi " the concentration that is force of a huge matter is revealed -- the litter transition of a great city became mountain peak and gorge, having the content that is different from common to shed courage at the same time -- the people that works in this city how can not by the rubbish billow of this eternity awe? Rubbish says with the place in the industry " rubbish flows " kind is moving, but of this colossus expanding is it seems that build for tremendous rubbish onrush. Look it to arrive greatly enough carry on the litter of whole country, is a city not just.

Perhaps new York is imitating the Yindian that comes from coast of North America northwest insensibly tribal crowd, their banquet with luxury is celebrated, on banquet filled up with the stuff that saves old countless, rug, hunt boiler of tool, food, cooking and tremendous copper piece. However, these brazenly ground was destroyed. This is called " boast rich banquet " ceremony, its purpose depends on passing ruined more competitor cannot the belongings that look forward to reachs will prove individual actual strength. But if " Fulaisikeersi " the representing's is us " boast rich banquet " , who is our competitor then, where is he again?

Review our research, the question that can invoke my imagination most also is the problem that those students that allow me are full of interest, these problems more brightly is mirrorred in rubbish bury field. Be gifted like the object value, labour force Yi Ran. The current situation of environmental sanitation worker how? What person is pursueing this profession? Their job is what kind of, be be go up in the street or by rubbish dump?

An anthropologist investigates the life of the people that knows as different as him group through field. And in the past regular fictile in that way, field investigation requirement is called " participator observes " practice. This one view is the square field surface that blends in certain person a specific group or society in, understand their world outlook morely as far as possible and share these holes to see with wider world. I and my student explores rubbish labour force more more, I realize with respect to more ground, it is moment and the people that pay close attention to these problems likewise began to give full cooperation, be moment enters this field.
