行走的声音研究项目调查了第一代移民对当地的体验和感知。两个关键主题:户外环境的范围,以支持对新地方的归属感,以及在公共领域制定的选择和价值观如何反映不断变化的跨国身份。实地工作集中在英国谢菲尔德的一个社区,并让来自五个不同国家的参与者参与自录音频技术。对叙事的分析揭示了在日常生活中与陌生和熟悉的事物接触的过程,以及对跨国联系的认识可以加强地方依恋的情感品质。户外活动和互动的可见性对日常技能的学习和社区内的多元文化建模都很有用。我们认为,地方的代表性特质既反映又塑造了跨国身份,对这些特征的感知为参与或分离的选择提供了信息。
The Walking Voices research project investigates the experience and perception of local places of first generation migrants. Two key themes are addressed: the scope of the outdoor environment to support a sense of belonging to new places, and how choices and values enacted in the public realm might reflect changing transnational identities. The fieldwork focused on one neighbourhood in Sheffield, UK, and engaged participants from five different countries of origin in self‐recorded audio techniques. Analysis of narratives revealed a process of engagement with the strange and familiar in everyday places, and that emotional qualities of place attachment can be strengthened by the recognition of transnational links. The visibility of activities and interactions in outdoor places was useful both for the learning of everyday skills, and for modelling diverse cultures within the neighbourhood. We suggest that the representational qualities of place both reflect and shape transnational identities, and perceptions of these inform choices of engagement or disassociation.
