跨国主义已经成为移民研究和人文地理学中的一个流行概念。对于这个词的早期使用,人们提出了一系列担忧,主要是因为对流动性的夸大描述。采用一种具体的方法来研究跨国主义,是对夸大机动性和脚步松散的危险的有力纠正。当分析的范围是移民而不是移民流动,以及跨国而不是跨国时,就会出现一幅更加复杂和现实的图景。跨国人员既是流动的,也是驻扎的。在种族轴心、出生地、性别和残疾方面,(流动性和久坐不动)选择和强制的程度是不平衡的。在具体化的尺度上,跨国主义的情感和情感地理分布更加明显。重要的是,对跨国家主义的具体分析揭示了地点的无处不在的价态。版权所有©2009 John Wiley&Sons,Ltd.
Transnationalism has become a popular concept within migration studies and human geography. A series of concerns have been raised about the early use of the term, mostly prompted by an exaggerated characterisation of mobility. Adopting an embodied approach to the study of transnationalism is a powerful corrective to the dangers of exaggerating mobility and footloosedness. When the scale of analysis is upon migrants rather than migration flows, and upon transnationals rather than upon transnationalism, a much more complicated and realistic picture emerges. Transnationals are simultaneously mobile and emplaced. And the extent of choice and compulsion (of both mobility and sedentariness) is uneven across racialised axes, birthplace, gender, and disability. At the embodied scale the affective and emotional geographies of transnationalism are more palpable. Importantly, an embodied analysis of transnationalism reveals the ever-present valency of place.
