摘要本文通过对从印度尼西亚到马来西亚油棕业的移民劳工招聘的案例研究，对流体流动性和固定基础设施之间的二分法提出了问题。低技能跨国移徙的渠道必须与其他形式的流动联系起来理解，最主要的是经纪人的流动，他们沿着沿着和重叠的路线流动。经纪人的流动性不仅是由相对不移动的停泊处形成的，而且还由更流动的“停泊处”形成，特别是移动的通信、低成本航空公司和新兴的社会关系。为了了解迁移过程是如何安排的，关键是要注意使流动成为可能的后勤做法。文章认为，经纪人的流动性，不同形式的停泊，和物流来塑造一个社会技术系统，可以理解的移民基础设施。
Abstract This article problematizes the dichotomy between fluid mobility and fixed infrastructure through a case study of migrant labor recruitment from Indonesia to the Malaysian oil palm industry. Channels of low-skilled transnational migration must be understood in relation to other forms of mobility, most notably that of brokers, who move along adjacent and overlapping routes. Broker mobility is not only shaped by relatively immobile moorings, but also by more fluid ‘moorings’, notably mobile communication, low-cost airlines, and emergent social relationships. In order to understand how the migration process is arranged it is critical to pay attention to the logistical practices that make mobility possible. The article argues that broker mobility, diverse forms of moorings, and logistics come to shape a socio-technical system that can be understood in terms migration infrastructure.
