本文主张对漂泊作为一种特殊的流动类型进行批判性分析。漂移是一个在社会科学中使用的常见术语，特别是在地理的物理、城市和心理地理分支中。然而，漂流并没有在流动性框架内作为一种特定的移动比喻被解开，也没有被社会科学家带到“海上”。考虑到漂流、漂流和海洋之间的长期关系，这是令人惊讶的。近年来，在地理学和更广泛的社会科学中，流动性研究得到了“充实”和“深化”，在这些研究中，流动性不被视为单一和无差别的，而是可以被分解成更具体的部分，构成特定的技术、经验、形式和流动条件。本研究通过调查这种流动质量和流动性质量的复杂性来剖析漂流。特别地，本文利用海洋背景下的漂流，以展示通过从城市空间移动考试而获得的新知识（在城市空间，漂流最容易被用作概念工具和方法）。事实上，通过对海上漂流的案例研究，本文认为，对这种独特形式的移动性的关注产生了对在海上领域移动的政治意义的新见解，这是一个经常被移动性研究忽视的空间。
This paper advocates a critical analysis of drifting as a particular typology of mobility. Drifting is a commonplace term used across the social sciences and particularly within physical, urban and psycho-geographic strands of geography. However, drifting has not been unpacked within a mobilities framework as a specific trope of moving, nor has it been taken ‘to sea’ by social scientists. This is surprising given the long-standing relationship between drift, drifting and the ocean. Recent years have witnessed a ‘filling out’ and ‘deepening’ of mobilities studies in geography and the broader social sciences, wherein mobility is not taken as singular and undifferentiated, but rather can be broken down into more specific parts that constitute particular technologies, experiences, forms and conditions of moving. This study dissects drifting by investigating the intricacies of this mobile quality and the quality of mobility. In particular, the paper draws on drifting in the context of the sea in order to demonstrate the new knowledges made possible by moving examinations from city spaces (where drifting has been most readily employed as conceptual tool and method). Indeed, drawing on case studies of drifting at sea, this paper argues that a focus on this distinctive form of mobility generates new insights into the politics of what it means to move in the maritime realm, a space often neglected in studies of mobilities.
