在本文中，我描述了乌兰巴托牧民从农村向城市迁移的经历。我展示了这如何给传统的城乡迁移观念带来问题，并提出了蒙古一种特殊的城市化形式。通过跟踪一个从农村迁移到城市的特定家庭，我展示了许多新移民如何在新的城市环境中与现有技能的转换和新技能的学习联系在一起适应城市生活。我还展示了一些在ger地区生活中更有问题的方面，包括放牧技能的贬值，以及对性别和身份的生存影响。在这个过程中，我发展了一种以现象学为基础的技能政治经济学，据此，社会、经济和政治变化可以在人类具体化的层面上进行追踪，以及在技能提升和技能下降的多向体验。
In this paper, I describe the experience of rural-urban migration amongst herders to Ulaanbaatar’s ger-districts. I show how this problematises conventional notions of rural-urban migration and suggests a particular form of urbanisation in Mongolia. Following one particular household as they move from the countryside to the city, I show how for many new migrants adaptation to urban life is tied to the transposition of existing skills – and the learning of new skills – in the new urban context. I also show some of the more problematic aspects of life in the ger-districts, including the devaluation of herding skills and the existential impact of deskilment on gender and identity. In the process, I develop a phenomenologically-grounded political-economy of skill, whereby social, economic, and political change can be traced at the level of human embodiment and polydirectional experiences of enskilment and deskilment.
