Lifestyle migration beyond consumption – production binaries: Dutch migrants and multifunctional rural land use in Sweden : [Življenjsko-stilske migracije onkraj dvojice potrošnja – proizvodnja: Nizozemski migranti in večnamenska uporaba kmetijskih zemljišč na Švedskem]
Lifestyle migration literature often focuses on lifestyle migrants as consumers. However, this paper shows how various modes of production are involved in everyday migrant lives as they seek to pro-duce the lifestyles sought. The paper’s aim is twofold: to explore issues of production in lifestyle mi-grants’ everyday lives, and to examine these migrants’ potential contributions to local rural develop-ment in lagging rural areas such as Swedish Bergslagen. This aim is addressed through two in-depth interview studies. The findings suggest that the respondents combine lifestyle-led motivations wit... Mehr ...

Lifestyle migration literature often focuses on lifestyle migrants as consumers. However, this paper shows how various modes of production are involved in everyday migrant lives as they seek to pro-duce the lifestyles sought. The paper’s aim is twofold: to explore issues of production in lifestyle mi-grants’ everyday lives, and to examine these migrants’ potential contributions to local rural develop-ment in lagging rural areas such as Swedish Bergslagen. This aim is addressed through two in-depth interview studies. The findings suggest that the respondents combine lifestyle-led motivations with seeking labour opportunities. Hence, studying these migrants is useful for investigating newcomers’ multifunctional rural land use and examining how their engagements with local rural development increases our understanding of their post-migration lives in lagging rural areas. ; Literatura o življenjsko-stilskih migracijah se pogosto osredotoča na življenjsko-stilske migrante kot potrošnike, pričujoči prispevek pa prikazuje, kako se različni načini proizvodnje vključujejo v vsakdanje življenje migrantov, ko si ti prizadevajo ustvariti želeni življenjski slog. Namen članka je tako dvojen: raziskati proizvodnjo v vsakdanjem življenju življenjsko-stilskih migrantov in njihove možne prispevke k razvoju podeželja na manj razvitih območjih, kakršen je švedski Bergslagen; teh raziskav se s poglobljenimi intervjuji loti v dveh študijah. Izsledki kažejo, da sodelujoči motivacijo glede življenjskega sloga združujejo z iskanjem priložnosti za delo. Študija o življenjsko-stilskih migrantih je zato koristna za raziskovanje, kako prišleki uporabljajo kmetijska zemljišča in kako njihova vpletenost v razvoj podeželja povečuje razumevanje njihovega post-migrantskega življenja na manj razvitem podeželju.
