每天，来自不同背景的人在我们的多元文化社区和城市中，无论是出于设计还是出于需要，都混在一起。本文探讨了感官，情感，习性和影响如何在文化多样性的城市中影响埃塞俄比亚的跨文化相遇。本文基于对澳大利亚某郊区的民族志研究，该地区近年来出现了大规模的中国移民，并经历了当地商业街沿着商店的快速变化。本文以沿着郊区商业街的一系列地点或“接触区”为重点，探讨了跨文化惯习的概念，特别是我称之为“触觉惯习”的感官和情感维度。然后，它探讨了感官和体现的存在方式，调解长期的盎格鲁-凯尔特老年居民在该地区和新来的中国移民及其相关的城市空间之间的跨文化互动。从视觉、嗅觉、听觉和触觉系统等感官出发，文章反思了感官、情感、习性、怀旧和记忆如何与本地化的多样性体验相结合。我发展的概念“感性多元文化主义”，这突出体现在这种情况下的文化差异的经验，并继续认为，不同步的感官，体现地方记忆和习性有助于某些形式的跨文化焦虑和日常种族主义。
Every day, people from different backgrounds mix together, whether by design or necessity, in our multicultural neighbourhoods and cities. This article explores how senses, sensibilities, habitus and affects influence quotidian intercultural encounters in culturally diverse cities. The article is based upon ethnographic research in an Australian suburb which has seen large-scale Chinese migration to the area in recent years and experienced the associated rapid changes to the shops along the local high street. Focusing on a range of sites or ‘contact zones’ along the suburban high street, the paper explores the notion of cross-cultural habitus, in particular the sensuous and affective dimensions of what I term the ‘haptic habitus’. It then examines the sensuous and embodied modes of being that mediate intercultural interactions between long-term Anglo-Celtic elderly residents in the area and newly arrived Chinese immigrants and their associated urban spaces. Ranging through the senses, from sight, smell, sound and the haptic system, the article reflects upon how the senses, affect, habitus, nostalgia and memory articulate with localised experiences of diversity. I develop the notion of ‘sensuous multiculturism’—which foregrounds embodied experience in this scenario of cultural difference—and go on to argue that the dis-synchronisation of senses, embodied place-memory and habitus contribute to some forms of intercultural anxiety and everyday racism.
