俗话说，一个人的垃圾是另一个人的宝藏。对当前再利用运动的分析通常集中在与资本主义消费陷阱和商品拜物教脱钩的政治上。这里提出的观点认为，通过追溯过去对特定类型的对象的欲望，其他动机。我认为目前的再利用辩论从亚文化的角度来看，在20世纪70年代末和80年代的城市内部生活。在自我民族志的帮助下，我深入研究了这种以依赖自己动手而闻名的城市亚文化。这包括自己动手的住房，家具，服装和音乐的做法，以及对二手材料的再利用的依赖，反过来，这些材料往往也被丢弃，作为这种短暂的生活方式的一部分。因此，我强调通过重复使用实现一次性快速时尚的做法。这包括展示“无味”的艺术品。以我的个人历史为背景，我强调了重用政治的复杂性，有时超越了反消费主义的必要性。特别提到了现在高度收藏的物品，如“土著”和其他印有“高贵的野蛮人”漫画的作品。这些稀有物品目前的收藏价值，表明了一种微妙的、往往是隐藏的种族化怀旧政治。
As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Analyses of current reuse movements focus generally on a politics of uncoupling from capitalist consumption traps and commodity fetishism. The perspective presented here considers other motivations by tracing desires for specific kinds of objects, from the past. I consider current reuse debates from a subcultural perspective, of inner-urban living in the late 1970s and 1980s. With the assistance of autoethnography, I delve into this urban subculture, known for its reliance on Do-It-Yourself. This included practices of Do-It-Yourself housing, furnishings, clothing and music, and the reliance on the reuse of preowned materials which, in turn, were often also discarded as part of this transient way of living. I therefore highlight the practice of disposable fast-fashion enabled through reuse. This included the display of ‘tasteless’ object d’art. With my personal history as a backdrop, I highlight the complexity of reuse politics that sometimes reaches beyond anti-consumerist imperatives. Specific reference is made to now highly collectable objects such as ‘Aboriginalia’ and other pieces emblazoned with caricatures of ‘noble savages’. The current collectability of these now rare objects, points to a subtle and often hidden politics of racialised nostalgia.
