章节摘录

  The present volume is a result of a panel in the anthropology of mobility and migration held at the Sixteenth World Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences in Kunming,China in July 2009. The panel on 'Human Mobility and Cultural Diversity: Perspectives from Empirical and Comparative Studies of Chinese and International Migration' was organized by Prof. Zhang Jijiao of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and myself,and brought together papers in two intersecting thematic areas, both of which are included here: labour migration and social mobility in the Asia Pacific region; and mobility, gender and cultural diversity, also with an Asian focus.  This panel was a key component in a larger process of intemational collaboration in the anthropology of mobility and migration that began in Guangzhou in 2006 with the ICAES Pre-Conference on Cultural Diversity and the Contemporary World where many of the authors of the present collection began to work together. This has been a productive connection enriched by the addition of a large international array in Kunming in 2009, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge this wide scholarly stimulation. I much regret that this will no longer include the late Janet W. Salaff, who contributed immeasurably in both Guangzhou and Kunming and who was long instrumental in moving the field forward with her rigourous scholarship and vibrant collegiality.  In contemporary discussions of the magnitude and distinctive features of recent population flows, it is occasionally possible to forget how characteristic mobility is of the human experience. Untold generations of our ancestors have explored their material surroundings, undertaken voyages of discovery and charted new pathways in a myriad of challenging and creative directions. In the simplest sense, this has meant expanding to materially larger and more distant places and carving out new niches for human life in the interstices of other lives and adaptations. Increasingly, these spaces for mobility and creativity are found within already occupied human locations, but still in the productive spaces in between where markedly new arrivals may flourish.  Such departures and arrivals are stories of rupture and displacement that tear people away from the familiar and so enable future (re)connections on altered ground. The changes are ones ofleaving family, at least temporarily, and devising ways to separate, to remain tied and potentially to reunite. Even with prospects of new families to create, the closest challenges are formidable and can be heart-rending. For many of the migrants in modern and contemporary China and the Asia Pacific, ties may be retained, but periods of separation can be extremely long. There is very difficult but rewarding work involved in making mobility and migration possible and livable under such circumstances. The necessary work of moving as well as the multifaceted work of maintaining translocal ties can be deeply gendered, as women especially (and also men) construct new divisions of labour and ofresidence and create innovative and mobile strategies for connecting with and caring for loved ones (see Salaff 1997).  Each of the chapters that follows provides ethnographically grounded, substantive and comparative studies of various aspects of mobility and migration in the Asia Pacific region and in China in particular. Together they constitute a prism through which it is ultimately possible to view many of the significant strands of mobility and migration in the contemporary world.  ……
