这篇文章探讨了从英国到西班牙的生活方式迁移现象，以经验来质疑阶级在个性化现代性时代的持续相关性（Beck, 1994）。生活方式移民表达了一种反物质主义的修辞，他们退休或自主创业的经历削弱了阶级划分的重要性。然而，作为独立研究太阳海岸东部和西部相似人群的研究人员，我们发现这些社会与其说是“无阶级”，倒不如说“无阶级”。尽管试图改写他们自己的历史，并通过地理流动塑造不同的生活轨迹，但移民通过文化过程和（经济）地位的再生产受到阶级意义的束缚。布迪厄的方法论和社会学概念被证明有助于理解这些过程。通过运用他的概念，我们考虑了重塑习惯的（有限的）可能性，尽管声称存在明显的平等主义社会领域。
This article explores the phenomenon of lifestyle migration from Britain to Spain to interrogate, empirically, the continued relevance of class in the era of individualizing modernity (Beck, 1994). Lifestyle migrants articulate an anti-materialist rhetoric and their experiences of retirement or self-employment diminish the significance of class divisions. However, as researchers who independently studied similar populations in the Eastern and Western Costa del Sol, we found these societies less ‘classless’ than espoused. Despite attempts to rewrite their own history and to mould a different life trajectory through geographical mobility, migrants were bound by the significance of class through both cultural process and the reproduction of (economic) position. Bourdieu’s methodological approach and sociological concepts proved useful for understanding these processes. Employing his concepts throughout, we consider the (limited) possibilities for reinventing habitus, despite claims of an apparently egalitarian social field.
