摘要
对比上一篇讨论香港的高密度城市发展战略的宏观视角来说,本文作者采取的是一个非常微观的角度来探讨香港一个重要的社会问题:垃圾对城市空间的影响以及靠垃圾为生的人群对香港社会的含义。如果说上一篇文章中有些人在公共交通和郊野公园里失踪了,那么在这篇文章里他们出现在街角,出现在回收站和临时垃圾转运站的附近。这篇文章从个人的行走经验出发更让这个研究带有强烈的感官刺激,凸现了城市空间问题的复杂和微妙。城市空间的任何探讨与研究都无法与人的存在分割,这种深入肉体与神经的联系是这篇文章的精华所在。
Anneke Coppoolse’s begins her walks through Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei with the observation that consumption and shopping induce counter practices of wasting and waste collection. In densely populated areas such as Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, these practices – and the rubbish they involve – are extra present, visually and aromatically, but also constantly and 'organically'. Indeed, practices of waste collection are bodily affairs in which interactions between trash (matter), the body and the urban environment play out rhythmically, giving these neighbourhoods a recognizable temporality. Moreover, Coppoolse’s methodological decision to walk and observe the multisensory nuances of Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei also allows her to explore the political economic reality of trash and its position in the larger narratives of Hong Kong.
