Abstract
Одноразові речі нині є невідокремною складовою повсякдення. З’явившись на початку ХХ ст.,
вони поступово посіли вагоме місце в нашому побуті, подекуди витіснивши речі багаторазового
вжитку. Але науковці ще мало дослідили цей компонент матеріальної культури, більшою мірою до
цієї теми звертаються екологи, соціологи та економісти, хоча сам факт присутності одноразової
речі в культурі вже є приводом для досліджень. Ця стаття має на меті виокремити та проаналізувати різні аспекти буття одноразової речі в сучасному повсякденні, які автору видаються важливими. Звісно, охопити все одразу неможливо, тому акцент зроблено передовсім на тому, як одноразова річ нівелює цінність речі в цілому, змінюючи культурні традиції. Стаття торкається теми
фактичного переходу в категорію одноразових речей тих предметів ужитку, які апріорі розраховані
на тривалу експлуатацію. Також зачіпається аспект ресайклінгу – напряму в дизайні, коли робиться спроба "інкультурувати" одноразову річ, перетворивши її на предмет тривалого використання,
або використати в господарстві в той чи той спосіб.
Nowadays disposable things are an integral part of everyday life. They are convenient, practical, do not require care. Appearing at the beginning of the twentieth century, they firmly rooted in our routine and gradually began to displace reusable things. However, scientists do not pay proper attention to the issue of disposable goods. To a great extent, this issue is analyzed in the works of ecologists, economists, and sociologists, although the very fact of having one-time things in our everyday life is already noteworthy. The purpose of this article is to identify and study those aspects of the existence of disposable goods in modern everyday life which the author finds important. The article is mainly focused on how one-time thing reduces the value of a thing as a whole, transforming cultural traditions. On the other hand, we will not discuss the environmental problems caused by debris from the environment, mostly consisting of disposable items. The article touches upon the problem of transition to the category of disposable items of those items that are a priori designed for long-term exploitation. Furthermore, it is important to trace the manner and scope of how this phenomenon affects the relationship between a person and a thing. The thing ceases to have value, as it was in the traditional society, and the pair “man-thing” changes its configuration. A human stops treating things carefully, perceiving it as something temporary in his or her life. However, cultural stereotypes have proved to be quite persistent. Therefore, on the one hand, a person begins to treat things of durable use as disposable, and on the other hand, tries to “inculturate” a one-time thing, turning it into a reusable item. This process has inspired various trends in design and hobbies. People use disposable things to make various household items, household appliances, and even interior decorations. In the future, a person still has to find a balance between disposable things and things intended for long-term use.
