Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, we discuss the intersection between tourism and migration. In doing so we interrogate how tourism and migration meet, interrelate, overlap and merge in multifaceted and fluid ways. We draw upon literature on transnational migration and on Sarah Ahmed’s work on the relationship between ‘strange encounters’ and home. These theoretical perspectives enable us to move away from an ‘ontology of the stranger’ and polarised views on migration and tourism. We investigate these issues through semi-structured interviews with people with different migration backgrounds and migration-related experiences who revolve around the Sardinia tourism industry. Our discussion unveils the entrenched inequalities and unexpected resources that people with different experiences of migration live and mobilise to reconfigure and expand notions of home through their involvement in the tourism industry. Our discussion underlines how processes of regrounding and the shaping of transnational ties between countries of origin and migration can exceed the remit and frameworks of initiatives to ‘integrate’ migrants through tourism. Drawing on the participants’ accounts and experiences of uprooting and regrounding, we contend that different identities and multiple notions of home can emerge from the uneven relationship between tourism and migration.

身在国内外:意大利撒丁岛旅游与移民的跨国纠葛

摘要在本研究中，我们讨论了旅游业和移民之间的交叉点。在这样做的过程中，我们质疑旅游业和移民是如何以多方面和流动的方式相遇、相互关联、重叠和融合的。我们借鉴了关于跨国移民的文献，以及莎拉·艾哈迈德关于“陌生遭遇”与家庭关系的作品。这些理论观点使我们能够摆脱“陌生人本体论”和对移民和旅游业的两极分化的看法。我们通过对撒丁岛旅游业不同移民背景和移民相关经历的人进行半结构化采访来调查这些问题。我们的讨论揭示了根深蒂固的不平等和意想不到的资源，具有不同移民经历的人通过参与旅游业来生活和动员，以重新配置和扩大对家的概念。我们的讨论强调了原籍国和移民国之间重新建立和形成跨国关系的过程如何超越通过旅游业“融合”移民的举措的职权范围和框架。根据参与者关于背井离乡和重新扎根的描述和经历，我们认为，旅游业和移民之间的不平衡关系可能会产生不同的身份和对家的多重概念。

期刊介绍： Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change ( JTCC ) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal. It focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in an increasingly complex global context. JTCC provides a forum for debate against the backdrop of local, regional, national and transnational understandings of identity and difference. Economic restructuring, recognitions of the cultural dimension of biodiversity and sustainable development, contests regarding the positive and negative impact of patterns of tourist behaviour on cultural diversity, and transcultural strivings - all provide an important focus for JTCC . Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple ''ways of being'', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume material culture. JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate by: -Adopting a multidisciplinary approach -Encouraging deep and critical approaches to policy and practice -Embracing an inclusive definition of culture -Focusing on the concept, processes and meanings of change -Encouraging trans-national/transcultural perspectives
