Despite being white and from the EU, these workers face a distinct form of discrimination – ‘xenoracism’ – rooted in microaggressions and boundary-making practices at both the workplace and in daily life. The study highlights how this discrimination becomes internalized, leading to a form of self-precarization among Italian healthcare workers. These workers, typically seen as ‘expatriates’ rather than ‘migrants’, undergo a process of deskilling and downgrading within the broader transformation of the global care chain, which contributes to a phenomenon we named ‘care waste’. This precarization is further reinforced by the new form of manpower recruitment implemented in Germany (the <em>Gastarbeit 2.0</em> model), which facilitates mobility but also perpetuates inequalities. The paper argues that intra-EU mobility, especially within the context of post-crisis Europe, does not equate to social mobility and instead reflects deeper structural inequalities tied to geographic and economic disparities. Ultimately, it provides a nuanced understanding of how mobility, discrimination, and precarization intersect in shaping the lives of migrant healthcare workers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 5","pages":"Pages 835-852"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145195871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How lifestyle migrants resort to informality and how it affects their lives is less well understood. To fill this gap, we present findings from 22 qualitative interviews with Swedish lifestyle migrants in Portugal. Lifestyle migrants can navigate webs of (in)formalities thanks to their privileged position as citizens of the European Union. First, lifestyle migrants <em>gradually appropriate informality</em>, which illustrates their privileged use of informal strategies to establish themselves in a new country. Second, lifestyle migrants <em>never have to settle down</em> in one place because they can employ informal strategies across countries to support their desired life in one of them. Finally, lifestyle migrants end up <em>facing a paradox of immobility</em> because their use of informal strategies to retain connections between countries creates dependency and immobility. Not unlike marginalised groups, lifestyle migrants exploit gaps in formal frameworks of the global mobility regime. Informality is intertwined with the privileged pursuit of a momentarily better life abroad and is thus essential to lifestyle migration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 5","pages":"Pages 820-834"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145195869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social practice theory is applied to fuse the influence of transport material structures with cultural expectations and emotions in a detailed examination of how parents live without cars. The paper exposes the way cultural scripts of good parenting are re-written by car-free parents, who have developed skills to take advantage of mixed-use and transit rich urban form, yet also accept having access to less. In doing so, a series of emotions are stirred, which parents absorb, as they forge an alternative transport lifestyle through a notoriously car dependent life-stage in a car-dependent city. This story sheds light on the barriers and enablers to less car-dependent parenting in the hope of informing realistic understandings of the influence of material transport structures on sustainable transport transitions. While alternative transport infrastructure is necessary for car-free living, a series of cultural and psycho-social elements must also be factored into our aspirations for less car dependent cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 5","pages":"Pages 888-906"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145195880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asking the key question ‘how does it feel?’ seems straight forward and yet still hard to accommodate in the realm of planning and transport policies. However, if the ‘way that we feel’ is what attunes us to be attracted (or the opposite) to different modes of transport, then the affective, embodied, and sensorial qualities of buses, subways, airplanes, and ferries is more than an issue of ‘comfort’ and competitive advantage (even though this is a central concern for public transport agencies in the post-covid 19 context). Rather, we should understand how the enrolment of human bodies into infrastructural systems and mobility technologies shape our experiences in the everyday life. This paper hones in on a few theoretical concepts developed under the umbrella of ‘mobilities design’.

Hyllie station, border controls and the presence of security personnel are depicted in different ways and at different levels. The complexities of life are intensified due to the daily cross-border commute and extra time required by border controls.
