The present article reflects on the concept of ‘spatial repertoire’ through a ‘trans’-perspective in order to explain the trans-formation of migrants’ homescapes during the pandemic—a time of restricted mobility. In the context of translocal im~mobility, this ethnographically informed multiple case study explores how three Greek ‘brain drain’ immigrants performed homescapes in the online-offline nexus from October to February 2020. Employing a critical discourse analytic approach, the findings showcase the pandemic biopolitics that have resulted in the de/reterritorialisation of everyday sociospatial activities, thus creating heterotopic places within the home. Specifically, the integration of work and political activity into the homescape has led to the resemiotisation of the linguistic landscape of homes and the dissolution of boundaries between ‘named’ spaces in homes. The concept of ‘transpatial repertoire’ captures the hybridisation of the pandemic-affected homescape, taking into consideration the vulnerabilities and emergent resistances to biopolitical control. In other words, it sheds light on the emergent heterotopias of im~mobility. (Pandemic, heterotopia, transpatial repertoire, linguistic landscape, homescape)*

静止的家园:大流行期间的跨空间迁徙曲目



本文从“跨”的角度反思“空间曲目”的概念,以解释在大流行期间(流动性受到限制的时期)移民家园景观的转变。在跨地域流动性的背景下,这项民族志信息丰富的多个案例研究探讨了三名希腊“人才外流”移民如何在 2020 年 10 月至 2020 年 2 月的线上线下关系中实现家园景观。研究结果采用批判性话语分析方法,展示了这一流行病生命政治导致日常社会空间活动的去域化/再域化,从而在家庭内创造异位空间。具体来说,工作和政治活动融入家居景观导致了家居语言景观的重新符号化以及家居“命名”空间之间界限的消解。 “跨空间曲目”的概念捕捉了受大流行影响的家园景观的混合,同时考虑到生物政治控制的脆弱性和新兴阻力。换句话说,它揭示了新兴的静止异托邦。 (流行病、异托邦、跨空间剧目、语言景观、家园景观)*
