ABSTRACT

The paper analyses the proliferation of different but intersecting regimes of mobility, and resistance against them, at the point of articulation of agricultural production with migration flows in contemporary Italy. The development of agri-food districts responds to a rationality of spatial zoning that in turn derives from the logistical re-organisation of supply chains. Such dynamics are shown to interact in complex ways with specific migration routes and their control, which also bear the effects of an encroaching logistical rationality. At times, these feed into the demand for cheap, just-in-time labour in agribusiness, whilst at others they clash with the needs of this sector. Racialisation represents a crucial tool of containment, together with a sexualised division of labour. The analysis is based on over eight years of participant, engaged research in several agro-industrial districts and migration hubs in Italy, among its migrant-worker populations, as well as in the countries of origins of some such workers (Nigeria, Romania and Bulgaria).

摘要

本文分析了当代意大利在农业生产与移民流动之间的衔接点，分析了不同但相交的流动性制度的扩散以及对它们的抵抗。农业食品区的发展对空间分区的合理性做出了回应，而空间分区的合理性又源于供应链的后勤重组。事实表明，这种动力学以复杂的方式与特定的迁徙路线及其控制相互作用，这也带来了侵害后勤合理性的影响。有时，这些需求会满足对廉价，及时的需求在农业综合企业中工作，而在其他方面则与该部门的需求发生冲突。种族化与性别分工一起是遏制犯罪的重要工具。该分析是基于八年多的参与，参与的研究，这些研究是在意大利的几个农业工业区和移民中心，其移徙工人人口以及一些此类工人的原籍国（尼日利亚，罗马尼亚和保加利亚）进行的。 ）。
