ABSTRACT

The article aims to highlight the means of rhythmicity to social life from within a study of children’s daily travelling with a mobile preschool in Sweden. The point of departure is the neglected mobility practices of young children in research and the difficult relation between children’s everyday movements and persistent representations of childhood time and place. Based on sensuous ethnographic fieldwork travelling with the preschool, the analysis deconstructs to visualize mobility modes at work in the enactment of the daily route, and explores to highlight the preschooler’s collective rhythms of practices while travelling. The rhythmanalysis shows how regular mobilities enable shared experiences and the (re)making of a rhythmicity grounded in an ongoing perceiving and managing of inside and outside rhythms. The result confirms young children’s interdependent mobilities from within an entanglement of different rhythms, and contributes with readings of how they ‘carry on’ in practice.

摘要

本文旨在通过对瑞典流动学前班儿童日常旅行的研究，突出社交生活的节律性。出发点是研究中被忽视的幼儿移动实践以及儿童日常运动与童年时间和地点的持久表征之间的困难关系。基于感性的人种学实地考察与学龄前儿童一起旅行，分析解构以可视化日常路线制定中的工作流动模式，并探索突出学龄前儿童在旅行中的集体实践节奏。节奏分析显示了定期流动如何实现共享体验和（重新）基于对内部和外部节奏的持续感知和管理的节奏的（重新）制作。
