摘要

本文介绍了一项针对移民单身汉的访谈研究结果，并讨论了意大利的孟加拉国移民和瑞典的叙利亚移民在单身方面的差异。受访者清楚地表明了欧洲单身与孟加拉国或叙利亚单身之间的简单区别。单身被认为是在一段等待期和一种有其内在价值的生活方式之间摇摆不定。在我们的样本中，虽然孟加拉国人将单身描述为一段等待期，与他们眼中的欧洲单身保持距离，但叙利亚人倾向于将单身视为天生的价值，并更喜欢“欧洲式”的单身方式。我们认为，这两个群体之间的差异主要与国家或地区文化有关，还与种族化的边界如何塑造欧洲的两个群体有关，以及阶级地位在决定单身态度方面的作用有关。

Waiting or dating? Migrant bachelors in the European borderscapes

The article presents results from an interview study on migrant bachelors and discusses di ﬀ erences between Bangladeshi migrants in Italy and Syrian migrants in Sweden, in how they present as singles. Interviewees articulate a simpli ﬁ ed distinction between singlehood in Europe and singlehood in Bangladesh or Syria. Singlehood has been theorized as wavering between a period of waiting and a lifestyle with its own inherent value. In our sample, while Bangladeshis describe bachelorhood as a period of waiting, distancing themselves from what they see as European singlehood, Syrians tend to embrace singlehood as inherently valuable and prefer a ‘ European way ’ of being single. We argue that this di ﬀ erence between the groups is connected not primarily to national or regional cultures, but to how racialized borders shape the two groups in Europe, as well as to the role of class positionalities in determining attitudes toward singlehood.

期刊介绍： NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
