Becoming cosmopolitan? Hybridity and intercultural encounters amongst 1.5 generation Chinese migrants in New Zealand 成为全球的？在新西兰1.5代中国移民的混合和跨文化碰撞 Abstract: The 1.5 generation migrants are often presented by scholars as the vanguard of new cosmopolitan possibilities. Their hybrid identities and intercultural competencies are viewed as evidence for new ways of approaching difference in diverse societies. This paper examines these claims in relation to Chinese 1.5 generation migrants in New Zealand, focusing on their experiences of negotiating the family and early life, and possibilities for becoming cosmopolitan. By drawing insights from everyday cosmopolitanism', we examine how hybrid identities both facilitate and undermine capacities to overcome difference and alter the power dynamics within social worlds. This demonstrates that everyday cosmopolitanism is not easily achieved but rather oscillates around strategies for fitting in that sometimes reinforce uneven social positions. We argue for caution in accounts of the 1.5 generation and recognition of the ways that cosmopolitanism is socially situated, subject to the multiple pressures, and enacted within the uneven power relations of society. 摘要：1.5代移民经常被学者们视作新全球主义可能的先锋。他们的混合认同和跨文化能力被视为在多元的社会处理差异的新方法的证据。本文探讨了与在新西兰的中国1.5代移民有关的这些论断，专注于他们协商家庭和早期的生活的经验，以及成为全球化人员的可能性。通过汲取日常的“全球主义”的见解，我们研究混合认同如何促进或破坏克服差异和改变社会世界的力量动态的能力。这表明，日常的全球主义是不容易实现的，而是围绕有时会加剧社会地位的不平等的策略而摆动。我们呼吁谨慎考虑1.5代和其识别方法，因为全球主义是基于社会情境的，它受到了多重压力，是在不平衡的社会权力关系中制定的。 作者： Wang, Bingyu; Collins, Francis L. 来源：ETHNIC AND RACIAL STUDIES 卷: 39 期: 15 页: 2777-2795 出版年: DEC 2016 (责任编辑：admin) |
