Abstract

Abstract Residential migration is one of the most problematic demographic variables. In Britain there are no sources that routinely record all moves, and the motives behind relocation are rarely recorded. In this paper I argue that the use of life histories can add important depth and clarity to the study of residential moves. The paper focuses on two themes: the ways in which internal and international migration may be linked together over the life course, and the complex mix of reasons why a move may take place. Used sensitively, life histories and life writing can enhance the study of migration history.

使用生活史来探索国内和国际移民的复杂性

摘要居住移民是最有问题的人口统计变量之一。在英国，没有定期记录所有搬迁的消息来源，搬迁背后的动机也很少被记录下来。在本文中，我认为使用生活史可以为研究住宅迁移增加重要的深度和清晰度。这篇论文聚焦于两个主题：国内和国际移民在一生中可能联系在一起的方式，以及移民可能发生的复杂原因。敏感地使用生活史和生活写作可以加强对移民史的研究。

期刊介绍： Continuity and Change aims to define a field of historical sociology concerned with long-term continuities and discontinuities in the structures of past societies. Emphasis is upon studies whose agenda or methodology combines elements from traditional fields such as history, sociology, law, demography, economics or anthropology, or ranges freely between them. There is a strong commitment to comparative studies over a broad range of cultures and time spans.
