对迁移的研究往往集中在推拉因素上;以及推动移民的流动性。当陌生人在陌生的地方相遇并长时间定居时,创造性活动的重要性往往很少受到关注,本书也认识到这一点。文章考虑了意大利、吉尔吉斯斯坦、法国、葡萄牙和澳大利亚的案例研究,并仔细研究了英联邦城市格拉斯哥。他们探索制作和使用文学(成人和儿童)的艺术装置;移民法中的翻译过程;教育材料;以及跨文化理解。这项研究揭示了移民发生在一个地方的程度,并采取了不同的形式,因为生活是从具有地理特殊性的跨文化接触中重新产生的。这种焦点的转变使人们能够从不同的角度看待语言、跨文化交流和移民活动,并使环境本身受到审查。
Research on migration has often focused on push and pull factors; and on the mobilities which drive migration. What has often received less attention, and what this book recognises, is the importance of the creative activities which occur when strangers meet and settle for long periods of time in new places. Contributions consider case studies in Italy, Kyrgyzstan, France, Portugal and Australia, as well as taking a careful look at the Commonwealth City of Glasgow. They explore the making and use of literature (for adults and children) of art installations; translation processes in immigration law; education materials; and intercultural understanding. The research reveals the extent to which migration takes a place, and takes different forms, as life is made anew out of intercultural encounters which have a geographical specificity. This shift in focus allows a different lens to be placed on languages, intercultural communication and the activities of migration, and enables the settings themselves to come under scrutiny.
