Excess aspirations: Migration and urban futures in post-earthquake Christchurch
过度的抱负:地震后基督城的移民和城市未来
Abstract
Migration and urbanisation are characterised by multiple temporalities: arrival, durations of migration, daily rhythms, migration regulation, aspirations for urban futures and the impacts of changing social, economic or environmental fortunes. In this paper, we address the temporalities of migration and urbanisation by focusing on the post-disaster context of Christchurch, New Zealand, which suffered destructive earthquakes in 2011 and 2012. While the immediate post-quake context was characterised by outward migration, rebuilding has occurred through the migration of thousands of workers and their families, particularly from Asia, Europe and the Pacific. The presence of new migrants has led to unexpected migrant-driven diversification that has potential to reconfigure Christchurch’s image as a city that privileges whiteness over Indigenous and non-white settler identities. The migration of rebuild workers, however, also occurs in a national context of increasingly stratified migration management with few opportunities for migrants to settle long-term. Drawing on interviews with stakeholders in central government, local organisations and migrants themselves we examine countervailing aspirations and responses that emerged within the earthquake rebuild: attempts by local organisations to reconfigure Christchurch as a diverse future-oriented city, migrant aspirations and tactics for long-term settlement and family stability and national government efforts to contain aspirations for a diverse future-oriented city that exceed the intent of migration management. Through this analysis our paper examines the discrepant temporalities of migration and urban futures involved in the rebuilding of post-quake Christchurch, as well as the multiple forces that impinge on the very possibility of migrant-led diversification of cities.

Bridging home and school in cross-border education: The role of intermediary spaces in the in/exclusion of Mainland Chinese students and their families in Hong Kong
连接跨境教育中的家庭和学校:中介空间对香港的中国内地学生及其家人的包容/排斥作用
Abstract
Over the last two decades the Hong Kong government has made considerable investments to develop the city into a regional education hub, with ‘diversification’ as a key aim. The vision is, however, delinked from the tens of thousands of young children residing in Shenzhen who commute to Hong Kong for school daily. These children embody differences that are considered undesired and their social exclusion has been widely reported. Taking a spatial perspective, this paper deepens our understanding of the in/exclusion processes impacting these children. Drawing on our policy analysis, interviews, observations in physical spaces and digital media, this paper analyses the role that intermediary spaces play in (re)producing differences and social relationships. Specifically, we examine the power geometries of the children’s school journey and school-related digital space, which are arenas where social differences are played out and in/exclusion is practiced and negotiated. We analyse the network of state and non-state actors at work in these intermediary spaces, showing the complex ways in which separation and integration, exclusion and inclusion intersect and constitute each other mutually. Our paper also gives some first insights into the impact of COVID-19 on the school children within this education mobility field.
摘要
在过去的二十年里,香港政府投入大量资金将这座城市发展为区域教育中心,并将“多元化”作为主要目标。然而,这一愿景与居住在深圳、每天通勤到香港上学的数万名幼儿脱节。在这些孩子身上,我们看到了不愿意看到的差异,他们遭受的社会排斥已被广泛报道。本文从空间的角度加深了我们对影响这些儿童的包容/排斥过程的理解。本文利用我们的政策分析、采访、以及对物理空间和数字媒体的观察,分析了中介空间在差异和社会关系(再)生产中所起的作用。具体来说,我们研究了孩子们的学校旅程和与学校相关的数字空间的权力几何学,这些是社会差异发挥作用、以及包容/排斥被实行和协商的舞台。我们分析了在这些中介空间中运作的政府和非政府行为者网络,展示了隔离与融合、排斥与包容相交并相互构成的复杂方式。本文还初步探讨了新冠疫情对教育流动领域中的学童的影响。

Managing the non-integration of transient migrant workers: Urban strategies of enclavisation and enclosure in Singapore
管理临时移民工人的非融合性:新加坡飞地和圈地的城市战略
Abstract
Research on migration in arrival cities, particularly in the west, has traditionally focused on spatial formations such as ‘ethnic enclaves’ or ‘immigrant neighbourhoods’ in order to investigate questions around assimilation, integration and settlement issues relating to more permanent forms of migration. By shifting attention to the cities of migration in Asia that operate largely under a regime of temporary migration, we foreground the twin concepts of enclavisation and enclosure not as fixed entities but as ongoing spatial-temporal strategies of disciplinary power with uneven consequences for migrant life and labour in the city. Set within the context of Singapore, we draw on qualitative interviews with two groups of transient migrant workers – male construction workers and female domestic workers – to examine two sets of conjoined processes underpinning their spatial containment in the city-state: ground-driven enclavisation or the formation of ‘weekend enclaves’ /gathering grounds as co-national social spaces of support and comfort zones of co-ethnic belonging; and state-driven enclosure in dormitories or home-workspaces as a set of containment measures in response to gender-differentiated concerns about enclavisation. As spatial–temporal processes that shape the migrant’s place in, and mobility through, the city in highly gendered and disciplined ways, enclavisation and enclosure work in tandem to reinforce the non-integration of low-waged transient migrants in the city.

Migrant worker recreational centres, accidental diversities and new relationalities in Singapore
新加坡的移民工人娱乐中心、偶然的多样性和新的关系
AbstractHow best to integrate migrant workers in host societies has been a longstanding question in the study of migration and globalisation. Scholars have been conceptualising new modes of transnational mobilities that point to the politics of differential inclusion to address encounters between migrants and locals in Asian global cities. This article uses an instructive case study of temporary, low-wage male migrant workers in Singapore and the issue of their recreational spaces to show that the politics of inclusion/exclusion are layered onto the question of integration/segregation. We take integration to mean the incorporation of migrants into local society to give full access to social institutions of protection and care, and inclusion to refer to the acceptance of migrants into social relationships that define urban life. Segregation and exclusion are their respective corollaries. We focus on state-provisioned recreation centres sited near the dormitories, which were expanded to function as segregating spaces to keep migrant workers away from the city after the Little India riot in 2013. We show that they have instead become contact zones producing accidental diversities of urban encounters between migrants, locals and state-linked agents. We discuss how these contact zones have developed differently across the centres built before and after the riot, the transformation of the accidental diversities in the recreational centres by state-linked agents into a new migrant grassroots sector and the ongoing intensification of this during the COVID-19 pandemic. The new relationalities offer the promise of transcending the layered binaries of integration/segregation and inclusion/exclusion.

Digital media, friendships and migrants’ entangled and non-linear inclusion and exclusion
数字媒体、友谊与移民纠缠和非线性的包容和排斥
Abstract
In this article, I shed light on the role of digital media and friendships in migrants’ inclusion and exclusion. Connecting the empirical findings of a qualitative, non-media centric, multi-method study to existing research in digital migration studies, digital media and friendship as well as the literature on inclusion and exclusion, I propose the concept of entangled inclusion and exclusion. This perspective underlines migrants’ continuous (re-) negotiations of their situatedness in the (trans-)local spaces of the places they come from, move to and through. While playing diverse roles in migrants’ development and maintenance of (trans-) local friendships, digital media contribute to non-linearities in migrants’ subjective feelings of being included or excluded, making the processes involved more complex while also serving as material and symbolic signifiers of entangled inclusion and exclusion.
在本文中,我阐明了数字媒体和友谊在移民包容和排斥方面发挥的作用。我将针对新加坡高技能移民的定性、非媒体中心、多方法研究的实证结果与数字移民、数字媒体和友谊的现有研究成果以及关于包容和排斥方面的文献相联系,提出了“纠缠的包容和排斥”的概念。这种观点强调了移民在他们所来自、迁移到和经过的地方所进行的、有关其(跨)本地空间中的情境性的持续(重新)谈判。数字媒体在移民发展和维护(跨)本地友谊方面发挥着不同的作用,但在移民被包容或被排斥的主观感受方面产生非线性,使所涉及的过程更加复杂,同时也充当“纠缠的包容和排斥”的物质和象征性能指。
