摘要本文超越了将紧缩作为一种财政政策的概念化，而是将紧缩理解为日常生活中的生活和感受，特别关注其情感生活。通过对公共图书馆的民族志关注，本文认为，紧缩可以采取的情感氛围的形式。本文将精神分析和斯宾诺莎-德勒兹对影响的描述结合在一起，探讨了紧缩作为一种神秘的氛围，在这种氛围中，紧缩是通过一系列重新出现在图书馆空间中的未知因素来实现的。偏执狂随后成为一种生活在不可思议的紧缩中的方式--让紧缩产生的未知变得众所周知。这种偏执不能归因于“偏执的个人”，而是由于神秘的紧缩产生的现实和虚构的模糊而变得偏执的做法。随着财政紧缩年复一年地持续下去，由于预算不断削减而出现的不确定性同时也被认为是众所周知的。换句话说，有一种感觉，紧缩将不可避免地导致图书馆服务的收缩。因此，生活中的紧缩，现在承载着如此的重量，并由于无数年前的经历和遭遇，紧缩有一个特殊的经验深度。
ABSTRACT This paper moves beyond conceptualisations of austerity as a fiscal policy towards understanding austerity as lived and felt in everyday life, with a particular focus on its affective life. Through an ethnographic focus on public libraries, this paper argues that austerity can take the form of an affective atmosphere. Bringing together psychoanalytic and Spinozist-Deleuzian accounts of affect this paper explores austerity as an uncanny atmosphere, in which austerity is lived through a series of unknowns that re-emerge throughout the library space. Paranoia subsequently emerges as a way in which to live with uncanny austerity – to make known the unknowns generated by austerity. This paranoia cannot be attributed to ‘paranoid individuals’, but to practices that become paranoid due to the blurring of reality and fiction that uncanny austerity generates. As austerity continues year after year, the uncertainties that emerge as a result of continual budget reductions are at the same time felt as something already known. In other words, there is a felt sense that austerity will inevitably lead to the contraction of the library service. Lived austerity, therefore, now carries such weight and has a particular depth of experience due to the innumerable previous years of, and encounters with, austerity.
