尽管关于印度洋流动和贸易的历史已有很多文章，但东非和亚洲之间最近的贸易联系迄今为止只引起了很少的关注。然而，仅在桑给巴尔，就有数百名商人定期踏上复兴旧路线并进一步开发它们的旅程，以便利用当今全球经济的运作方式。通过对四名桑给巴尔商人前往雅加达的旅程进行人种学描述，本文深入了解了当代印度洋贸易网络的组织、计算和想象。尽管这次贸易之旅清楚地标志着桑给巴尔商人跨地域流动的新形式，但这种流动民族志强调了这一旅程如何同时与印度洋上非常古老的流动过程紧密相连、唤起并活跃起来，从而强调了新旧流动性、熟悉与陌生之间的辩证关系。
While much has been written about the history of mobility and trade in the Indian Ocean, recent trading connections between Eastern Africa and Asia have so far only gained very little attention. However, in Zanzibar alone, hundreds of traders regularly embark on journeys reviving old routes and further develop them, in order to take advantage of the way the global economy works today. By providing an ethnographic account of such a journey undertaken by four Zanzibari traders to Jakarta, this article gives an insight into the organization, calculations and imaginations involved in contemporary Indian Ocean trading networks. Although this trade journey clearly marks a new form of translocal mobility among Zanzibari traders, this mobile ethnography highlights how the journey is at the same time closely linked to, evokes and enlivens very old processes of mobility across the Indian Ocean, thus highlighting the dialectics between old and new mobilities, and between familiarity and strangeness.
