The article develops the notion of restless bodies to explore the interaction between regimes of social reproduction and freedom of movement. The notion captures the methodological difficulty to account for ‘return migration’ and goes beyond the isolation of a singular migration determinant. The author relies on two empirical cases. The first draws on one hundred interviews with ‘return migrants’ in Bulgaria. The second is based on fieldwork conducted between 2013 and 2015 in Germany. Both show how the political economy of movement is characterised by a contradiction between fixity and motion in the context of capital accumulation and fading welfare state. The concerns at hand are raised both because of their methodological importance but also as a potential instrument that could supplement ongoing policy debates in the field of EU social security portability coordination.

不安身体的再（生产）：行动自由和社会再生产

这篇文章发展了不安身体的概念，以探索社会再生产制度与行动自由之间的相互作用。这个概念抓住了解释“返回移民”的方法论困难，并超越了单一移民决定因素的孤立。作者依赖于两个经验案例。第一个来自对保加利亚“返回移民”的一百次采访。第二个是基于 2013 年至 2015 年在德国进行的实地调查。两者都显示了在资本积累和福利国家衰退的背景下，运动的政治经济学如何以固定和运动之间的矛盾为特征。
