本文提供了撤资的地理分析。通过对家庭进行为期两年的密集定性研究，我们从经验上探索了家庭撤资中管道的范围，显示了盈余和过剩的东西是如何通过特定管道常规移动的。我们认为，与其关注撤资的轨迹，不如关注撤资的实践，撤资本身也是一种实践。此外，我们认为撤资实践是关于试图围绕盈余和过剩的事物建立规范；它们连接到特定消费实践的再生产和消费的元实践。本文还考虑了撤资实践与处置问题之间的关系。我们认为，除了关注渠道、连通性和回报的工作外，还需要关注安置和实践，它们不仅有可能起到回馈作用，而且总是起到回馈作用。
This paper provides a geographical analysis of divestment. Drawing on two years of intensive qualitative research with households, we explore empirically the range of conduits that figure in household divestment, showing how surplus and excess things are routinely moved through specific conduits. We argue that, rather than focusing on the trajectories of things in divestment, it is practices of divestment that merit attention, and that divestment itself is also a practice. Further, we argue that divestment practices are about trying to constitute a normative around surplus and excess things; that they connect up to the reproduction of particular consumption practices and to the meta practice of consumption. The paper also considers the relation between divestment practice and the question of disposal. We argue that, as well as paying attention to conduits, connectivities and the work of the return, there is a need to focus on placings and practices, that not only have the potential to act-back but which are always acting-back.
