翻译后摘要：本文探讨了苏格兰吉普赛人/旅行者的移动的做法，并分析了他们的流动性如何影响他们的社会空间参与苏格兰社会。 它探讨了流动性的不同表现形式如何设置旅行的边界和限制，揭示了吉普赛旅行者的日常流动实践，并讨论了他们在苏格兰社会和文化中的嵌入性。讨论借鉴了实证研究结果，以评估试图适应移动的做法的旅行者在现有的政治和经济组织结构。它暴露了占主导地位的“准时”的运动理解，缺乏关于在移动过程中发生的事情的信息，忽视了移动生活方式的重要因素。这项研究的结果表明，旅行的正式定义特权的具体形式的流动性，忽视了其他人，并有助于永久化的边缘化身份的巡回人民。本文最后提出了关于重新连接政策的新方法的理论意见，以解决流动性的劣势。
Abstract: This article examines mobile practices of Scottish Gypsy/Travellers and analyses how their mobility affects their socio-spatial access to participation within Scottish society. It explores how different representations of mobility set up boundaries and limitations on travel, unravels everyday practices of mobility by Gypsy Travellers and discusses their embeddedness within Scottish society and culture. The discussion draws on empirical research results to assess attempts to accommodate mobile practices of Travellers within existing structures of political and economic organisation. It exposes dominant “punctual” understanding of movement, which lacks information about what happens during the move and overlooks important elements of ambulant lifestyles. Findings from this study suggest that formalised definitions of travel privilege specific forms of mobility to the neglect of the others and serve to perpetuate the marginalised identities of itinerant people. The paper concludes with theoretically informed observations about the new ways of re-connecting policies tackling disadvantage with mobility.
