本文旨在通过研究新自由主义福利紧缩是如何生活，经历和抵制的，以促进对紧缩的日常影响的理解。通过对有住房需求的年轻人的采访，我们展示了日常应对福利改革可能导致疲劳的方式，一种逐渐缓慢的疲惫，伴随着必须忍受日常的困难。我们认为，这种厌倦是理解紧缩政策日常影响的一个组成部分。然而，尽管厌倦在不稳定和贫困等问题上具有明显的中心地位，但尚未对厌倦本身的概念进行持续的讨论。一种常见的概念化将厌倦定位为政治行动的对立面，在政治行动中，个人慢慢地被磨损，直到他们不再有力量或能力抵抗。然而，本文提供了一个更修复性的阅读疲劳，一个不狭隘的概念疲劳作为简单的关闭。相反，我们质疑疲倦是否一定总是等同于无所作为。这篇论文关注的是痛苦和暴力的形式，它们被认为是一种稳定的持续的忍耐形式，而不是突然爆发。我们将那些既不热情也不激烈的情感时刻放在前台，相反，它们是无精打采和静止的，产生了惰性、平淡和僵局的感觉。本文最后对我们所说的“厌倦的权利”进行了一些思考，探讨了如何将厌倦理解为一种潜在的退缩，从无情的前进动力中退缩，这是一种被动的异议形式。
This paper seeks to advance understandings of austerity's everyday affects by examining how neoliberal welfare retrenchment is lived, experienced and resisted. Drawing on interviews with young people in housing need, we demonstrate the ways in which day‐to‐day coping with welfare reform can lead to a state of fatigue, a gradual slow wearing‐out that comes with having to endure everyday hardship. Such weariness, we argue, is an integral part of understanding the everyday impacts of austerity. Yet despite the apparent centrality of weariness to issues such as precarity and poverty, there has not yet been sustained discussion into the idea of weariness itself. A common conceptualisation positions weariness as the antithesis of political action, where individuals are slowly worn down until they no longer have the strength or capacity to resist. However, this paper offers a more reparative reading of weariness, one which does not narrowly conceptualise weariness as simply a closing down. Instead we question whether weariness should necessarily always be equated with inaction. The paper focuses on forms of suffering and violence that are felt as a kind of steady on‐going form of endurance, rather than as a sudden eruption. We foreground affective moments that are neither passionate nor intense, but instead listless and still, generating feelings of inertia, flatness, impasse. The paper concludes with some reflections on what we term “the right to be weary,” examining how weariness could be understood as a potential retreat from the relentless drive to move forwards, a form of passive dissent.
