摘要

虽然关于背包客及其在旅游文化中的作用的研究成果颇丰,但对他们作为农村地区长期基本劳动者的地位以及这对接纳他们的社区意味着什么的思考却很少。我们通过研究澳大利亚打工度假者计划的演变,以及该计划如何塑造了背包客在农业社区的存在,弥补了这一空白。当代澳大利亚的背包客群体在文化和种族上具有多样性,这对农业社区的经济和文化生计至关重要。我们认为,签证计划的不断修改已经改变了背包客在农业城镇的存在,他们从高度短暂的游客变成了可能作为临时移民长期逗留的重要工人,这也改变了接纳他们的人和地方。通过流动性的视角,我们概述了从背包客签证这一实例中获得的有益经验和启示,这些经验和启示对于今后围绕农村生计、劳动力迁移和农业社区开展的研究和讨论具有现实意义。

From tourists to essential workers: The multifaceted presence of backpackers in rural Queensland, Australia
Although there is notable scholarship on backpackers and their part in tourism cultures, there has been little reflection on their status as long term essential workers in rural areas and what this means for the communities who receive them. We address this gap by investigating the evolution of Australia's Working Holiday Maker program and how it has shaped the presence of backpackers in farming communities. Contemporary backpacking in Australia now involves a culturally and ethnically diverse cohort, which has become essential for farming communities' economic and cultural livelihoods. We argue that the ongoing modifications to the visa program have transformed the presence of backpackers in farming towns, from highly transient tourists to essential workers who may stay for longer periods as temporary migrants, and this has transformed the people and places that host them. Through the lens of mobilities, we outline useful lessons and insights from this example of a backpacker visa, which are relevant for future research and debates around rural livelihoods, labour migration, and farming communities.
