Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates how COVID-19 has rewritten the transnational connotations of recent Italian migration to Wales, reshaping issues of home, belonging, inclusion, and participation. On the one hand, examination of the relationship with the host country analyses whether and how the early phase of the pandemic impacted on Italians’ social integration and sense of embeddedness in Welsh society. On the other, a focus is placed on the relationship with the origin country, aiming to detect whether the crisis strengthened feelings of nostalgia and a desire to ‘return home’. To this end, four main fields are considered: social relations, cultural practices, sources of information, and travel patterns. Addressing these fields, discussion assesses the practices and strategies that Italian migrants in Wales engaged with in order to maintain a connection with Italy despite the limitations and challenges posed by COVID-19.

摘要本文探讨了新冠肺炎如何改写了意大利最近移民威尔士的跨国含义，重塑了家庭、归属、包容和参与的问题。一方面，对与东道国关系的研究分析了疫情的早期阶段是否以及如何影响意大利人的社会融合和威尔士社会的嵌入感。另一方面，重点关注与原籍国的关系，旨在检测这场危机是否增强了怀旧情绪和“回家”的愿望。为此，考虑了四个主要领域：社会关系、文化实践、信息来源和旅行模式。针对这些领域，讨论评估了威尔士的意大利移民为保持与意大利的联系而采取的做法和战略，尽管新冠肺炎带来了限制和挑战。
