Abstract Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among circular migrants from present-day Poland to Denmark and by revisiting the classic The Polish Peasant in Europe and America (1918-1920), the article brings together two examples of migration flows: the late 19th century outmigration from the then divided Poland to the U.S. and the present-day intra-EU circular migration between Poland and Denmark. The focus is on the gender work performed in transnational families as presented in the context of the mobility regimes in which the two different, yet related, transnational migration flows occur. By highlighting the historicity of migration flows through the lens of transmigrants’ gender work, the article argues that the transnational migration approach remains a key tool for investigating similarities and differences in migration between changing global historical conjunctures.

摘要借鉴当今波兰到丹麦的圆形移民的人种志田野调查，并通过回顾经典的《欧美的波兰农民》（1918-1920年），总结了两个移民流的例子：19世纪末期然后将波兰划分为美国，以及如今的欧盟内部在波兰和丹麦之间的循环移民。重点是在流动制度的背景下介绍的在跨国家庭中开展的性别工作，在流动制度中发生了两种不同但又相关的跨国移民。通过以移民性别工作的视角强调移民的历史性，
