本章的目标是描绘剥夺问题，即在消费周期结束时发生的人与物的分离。与对支出和积累的关注相反，剥夺是反消费概念可能包含的一系列主题之一，其他主题包括储蓄（递延消费）、税收（用于公共目的的消费）或慈善事业（将消费转移给他人）等问题。因为占有伴随着剥夺，而且占有需要一段时间，所以财产的保留和释放与生命历程的运行交织在一起。财产支持成长、成熟和人生的角色轨迹。它们的实现方式可能是历史上连续群体所特有的。它们的处置也可能是一个代际问题。着眼于该主题与年龄相关的特征，本次讨论将讨论人们占有的动机、剥夺的场合以及两者的必要劳动。在考虑人和物体的巧合时，人们倾向于做出遵循其中之一的决定。要么是一个物体与人相遇的世界，要么是一个人与东西共享的世界。以对象为中心的思维将事物视为有生命、职业、弧线、死亡、存在、缺席（例如，Appadurai，1986）。当人们追随事物的故事时，个体来来去去。以对象为中心的分析对生产和消费是一体的感到满意，因为生产和消费是人类对同一事物的连续行为。
The goal of this chapter is to map the problem of dispossession, that is, the parting of people and their things that occurs at the end of the consumptioncycle.As opposedto a focus on expenditureand accumulation, dispossession is one topic among a set that might be encompassedby the concept of dis-consumption,others being such matters as saving (consumption deferred), taxation (consumption diverted to public purpose), or philanthropy (consumption transferred to others). Because dispossession follows upon possession and because possession entails durations of time, the retention and release of belongings is intertwined with the running of the life course. Possessionssupportgrowth,maturation,and the role trajectories of life.They do so in ways that may be historically specificto successive cohorts. Their disposal can also be an intergenerational matter.With an eye to age-related features of this topic, the present discussion will address people's motives for possession, occasions for dispossession, and the necessary labor of both. In any consideration of the coincidence of people and objects, one tends to make a decision to follow one or the other. There is either a world of objects that encounterpeople, or a world of people sharing it with stuff. Object-centered thinking views things as having a life, a career, an arc, a death, a presence, an absence (e.g., Appadurai, 1986).As one follows the story of the thing, individual people come and go. Object-centeredanalysesare comfortablewith productionand consumptionbeing all of apiece becauseproduction and consumption are sequential human acts upon the same thing.
