The proposed research explores the way in which low-income populations circulate political ideas, identities and practices as they migrate from one location to another for short durations. The approach in the research is sociological, which highlights the transformations and changes unfolding in society. Therefore, the research questions focus on the ways in which the social experiences of migrants in their 'originating' and 'destination' localities influence them politically. In particular the research design takes particular account of the political changes in the migrants' 'originating' localities and the structure of the industry in which they seek employment in the 'destination' localities. The research proposes to use a combination of methods to develop a textured account of these influences: the methods include ethnography, surveys and elite interviews. The analysis will be qualitative, directing attention to migrants' meanings, feelings and practices in relation to politics. The project will make the following contributions to the field. One, it will focus attention on the internal, rather than international, dimension of migration. Two, it will emphasize the political, rather than economic, implications of migration. Three, it will highlight the constructed and multi-faceted aspects of political identities, against static and singular views. Fourth, it will consider the circulation of ideas, identities and practices between 'originating' and 'destination' localities of migrants, instead of assuming that these are remitted only from 'destination' to 'originating' localities.

这项拟议的研究探讨了低收入人群在短期内从一个地方迁移到另一个地方时传播政治思想、身份和实践的方式。研究的方法是社会学的，它突出了社会中正在展开的转变和变化。因此，研究问题集中在移民在其“原籍”和“目的地”地区的社会经历如何在政治上影响他们。特别是，研究设计特别考虑了移民“原产”地的政治变化，以及他们在“目的地”地寻求就业的行业结构。该研究建议综合使用多种方法来对这些影响进行有组织的描述：这些方法包括民族志、调查和精英访谈。分析将是定性的，将注意力集中在移民的意义、感受和与政治有关的实践上。该项目将对该领域作出以下贡献。第一，它将把注意力集中在移徙的国内层面，而不是国际层面。第二，它将强调移民的政治影响，而不是经济影响。第三，它将突出政治身份的建构和多面性，反对静态和单一的观点。第四，它将考虑移民的“原籍”和“目的地”地区之间的思想、身份和实践的流通，而不是假设这些只是从“目的地”转移到“原籍”地区。
