摘要在本文中，我们回到一个老生常谈但仍然非常活跃的辩论：移民的“发展”影响的问题。在泰国东北部的三个村庄，国内和一些国际移民是司空见惯的实地考察借鉴，我们专注于两个经常被忽视的移民方面：移民的影响，特别是情感劳动，使移民成为可能;和移民对农业和农业的影响。我们认为，移民对那些留在村里的人有着多方面的、未被充分认识的影响，他们的未来可能会受到限制，愿望也会受到阻碍。非移徙者不仅仅是被动意义上的“被留在后面”，他们还可能将移徙视为主动的制约和限制。移民对农业的潜在影响也与许多政府和多边机构倡导的农业转型途径背道而驰。最后，我们确定了三个差距，在移民研究，坐在我们的讨论背后的影响和移民的影响：差距之间的生产/工作和生殖/护理;之间的移民/移动的和非移民/非移动的;和之间的移民和非移民的空间。
ABSTRACT In this paper, we return to a well-worn but still very live debate: the issue of the ‘development’ impacts of migration. Drawing on fieldwork in three villages in Northeast Thailand where domestic and some international migration are commonplace, we focus on two often under-examined aspects of migration: the affects of migration, and in particular the affective labour that makes migration possible; and the effects of migration on farming and agriculture. We argue that migration has manifold, under-appreciated impacts on those who remain in the village, whose futures may be curtailed and aspirations thwarted. Non-migrants are not just ‘left behind’ in the passive sense, they may experience migration as actively constraining and limiting. There are also hidden effects of migration on farming that run counter to agrarian transition pathways promoted by many governments and multilateral agencies. We conclude by identifying three gaps in migration research that sit behind our discussion of the affects and effects of migration: the gap between production/work and reproduction/care; between migrants/the mobile and non-migrants/the immobile; and between migrant and non-migrant spaces.
