In the wake of the EU enlargements in 2004 and 2007, large numbers of migrant workers from Eastern Europe in-migrated to the Western European countryside. In this paper I discuss how these migration streams in important ways challenge the dominant perspectives in contemporary rural studies, in particular their focus on lifestyle-related rural in-migration, on the post-productivist character of the countryside, and on the social constructions of the rural as idyllic space. These perspectives are examined based on qualitative material from in-depth interviews with 54 migrant workers in the Norwegian agricultural industry. These migrants' everyday experiences in the rural West add important nuance to the dominant scholarly images of rural idylls and dullness, descriptions of rural communities as less marked by class structures than urban regions, and traditionalist presentations of rural social life and communities.Oppsummering: Etter EU-utvidelsene i 2004 og 2007 flyttet mange øst-europeere til de vesteuropiske landene for å arbeide i de rurale primaernaeringene. I artikkelen diskuterer jeg hvordan denne flyttestrømmen utfordrer sentrale perspektiver i den bygdesosiologiske flytteforskningstradisjonen, spesielt fokuset på på livsstilsflytting, bygdas post-produktivistiske karakter og betydningen av at det rurale konstrueres som «idyllisk». Gjennom analyser av et kvalitatitivt datamateriale (dybdeintervjuer med 54 øst-europeere som arbeider i den norske landbruksnaeringen) viser jeg hvordan forestillinger om byda ut fra dikotomien idyll/kjedsomhet og det rurale som et klasseløst og tradisjonsbundet samfunn er lite meningsfulle i analyser av de øst-europeiske innflytterne, ei heller av de vest-europeiske bygdesamfunnene.

“…With regard to c ultural capital , several authors have discussed deskilling experiences, which are often accompanied with a decline in social status for many labor migrants from less affluent societies seeking employment in the global North (Gupta et al., 2014; Kofman, 2012; Nieswand, 2011; Nohl et al., 2014; Shan et al., 2016; Shinozaki, 2015: 79–80).…”

The Philippine government has been engaged in state-supported international labor migration for more than 40 years. Migrants and non-migrants alike are embedded in multifocal transnational lives as family members and friends are spread over different localities and nation-states. This study looks at the role of economic, social, cultural and symbolic capital as defined by Bourdieu (1986) in Filipino migration. The article analyzes the transformability of the different forms of capital in relation to labor migration. Moreover, the study asks how the four forms of capital are transferred from the Philippines to the destination country and back to the Philippines. Based on ethnographic data collected in the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines, the study concludes that having economic, social and cultural capital largely decides whether one is able to migrate and what destinations are accessible. Cultural capital is not easily transferable across the transnational space due to discriminating labor markets. After return, migrants have gained symbolic capital through the migration experience.

“…Damit liegt ein bestimmter Typus einer Migrationsgemeinde vor, der im Sinne der pluralistischen Perspektiven simultane Mehrfach-Orientierungen und Lokalverankerungen sowie hybride Zugehörigkeiten darlegt (Pries 2013;Faist et al 2011;Amelina 2008). Zusätzlich zu seiner dreifachen Orientierung unterscheidet er sich von den ersten drei Clustern assimilativer und/oder diasporischer Art durch eine stärkere Herkunftsland-Orientierung oder Ethnoorientiertheit (Hepp 2011: 69 f.).…”

Diskussion empirischer Ergebnisse -Fazit und Ausblick 318 9.1 Diskussion empirischer Ergebnisse mit Bezug auf die forschungsleitenden Fragen 10 Literatur 351 Anhang 373 10 Der Annahme der mentalen Mobilität nach, sind «alltagsweltliche Aufmerksamkeitsstrukturen, Aktivitäten und Erfahrungen nicht nur auf den Ort fixiert, an dem sie sich körperlich aufhalten, sondern spannen sich transnational über verschiedene Orte auf» (Pries 2010: 66), etwa dank moderner Kommunikations-und Medientechnologien (vgl. Faist 2006: 24). 14 Transnationalismus wurde aufgrund seiner normativen Aufladung, so Dahinden (2011: 85), durch Transnationalität ersetzt, einen Begriff, «der auf die konstruierte Natur dieser Prozesse verweist». 15 Eine Transnationalität des narrow Niveaus korrespondiert laut Itzigsohn et al. (1999: 323) mit grenzüberschreitenden Aktivitäten, die eine Dauerhaftigkeit, Regularität und einen hohen Institutionalisierungsgrad aufweisen. Bei einer Transnationalität des broad Niveaus sind hingegen die Tätigkeiten eher materieller und symbolischer Art und finden gelegentlich und mit einem niedrigen Institutionalisierungsgrad statt.
